Our Wedding

In early May 2022, Maria downloaded Hinge as a joke to see how the local Rochester talent was. Due to a stroke of luck, her range of candidates was extended to Lakeville because she was in town visiting her parents. Reed also happened to be living in Lakeville with his family at the time. Maria first messaged Reed about their mutual dislike for the TV show, The Office. This was Marias one and only match on the dating app. They began to hit it off on the app and Reed asked for her number. Shortly after reaching out via text, Reed ghosted Maria for a week. He was in Colorado for fellow Groomsmen, Alex’s, bachelor party. Just as Maria began to lose hope, Reed responded upon returning from the trip. Shortly after, they went on their first date at local Lakeville restaurant Harry’s (now changed to Gary’s). When they met at the restaurant there was an immediate connection as both Reed and Maria enjoyed one another’s company and even broke Marias rule of having food on a first date. Following the first date, Reed and Maria talked often and Maria, who lived in Rochester at the time, was looking for any excuse to return to Lakeville – and not just to “visit her parents.” Over the next couple months, Reed and Maria would alternate going to see one another as often as they could on the weekends. The travel was not an issue for them and only caused them to enjoy seeing one another even more whenever they got a chance. Three months after their first message on Hinge, Reed finally mustered up the courage to tell Maria his feelings. Although Reed fumbled with his words saying, “I think I love You”, the sentiment was there, and Maria was relieved to finally hear the words that she had been anticipating for the last couple of weeks. Nearly one year after they started dating, Maria decided to take the leap and leave her job and friends in Rochester to join Reed and move to Minneapolis where she had accepteda new job. This was a very scary change at first but ended up being a very rewarding decision.&nbsp; In July of 2023 Reed decided it was his turn to take the next major step in their relationship. He designed a ring and picked it up the day before Reed and Maria were leaving on a trip to Banff, Canada. On the night of August 24 before their riverside dinner in downtown Banff, Reed wanted to get there early to do some “sightseeing”. After taking some photos, Reed asked Maria if she wanted to know the real reason that he took her there that night. Still clueless as to what was going on, Maria responded, “No”. Not the response Reed expected. Reed took her hands and got down on one knee and asked Maria to marry him. Maria, for the first time in her life was speechless, but eventually said, “Yes!”&nbsp; The past few years together, Maria and Reed (and Abe) have grown their lives together and are so excited for July 12, 2025!
