On move-in day at the University of South Dakota in August of 2017, my roommate Madison and I (Molly) walked to the Dakota Dome for our freshman convocation and class photo. We walked in to find a nearly empty dome, with 2 lone boys standing and looking just as confused as we were. None of us realized we were supposed to meet at the freshman dorms and walk over as a freshman class together.

We walked right up to the boys as I elbowed Madison, calling "dibs on the blonde", while trying to not make it obvious that I was staring at Jackson.

Jackson and Mat were the Minnesota boys that knew next to nobody at the school, and the two were sidekicks from the start. We quickly learned that the boys' dorm was 2 floors down from us girls, and we all became instant best friends. Where Molly went, Jackson followed. Where Madison went, Mat followed. We were lucky to enough to continue this for the next 8 years.

Jackson and I dated all throughout college, and then I made the move to Minnesota in December 2022. Since then, we have only grown closer and couldn't imagine a future without one another.

From being 18 years old and barely knowing how to do our own laundry, the one thing we did know was how to pick a life partner. We've been dreaming about this day for years, and we are so honored to have you celebrate with us.

xoxo,

Molly and Jackson
