119 Days To Go!

It is said the best relationships start as friendships. Molly & Joey are lucky to fall in this category. They met through mutual friends the summer after graduation at Joey's college house (famously named Como Frat). After chatting on the Como Frat patio until 3am, the friendship was solidified. Over the coming months and after lots of visits back and forth between Iowa and Minnesota, you could say the rest is history.


The following 6 years included:

- Lots of trips: California, Spain, Colorado, South Dakota & more

- Becoming homeowners, roommates & landlords

- Growing to love each other's favorite activities: Joey with camping and Molly with golf

- Spending time with each other's families

- Adventures with their puppies, Summit & Wazzu


On October 7, 2023, Joey got down on one knee and asked Molly to marry him in one of their favorite spots, the Minnesota North Shore. With their legal names being Mary & Joseph, it was destiny, right?


They are so excited for this next chapter, and can't wait to celebrate with friends and family.
