Our Wedding

The very first night Sam and Cory met at UMD in the fall of 2015! Thanks to their friend Kaelyn for snapping this picture- clearly she knew it was the start of something special ❤️

After a few months of being just friends, Sam asked Cory to join his intramural curling team (they won) and later began officially dating.

After graduation, Sam accepted an accounting job and moved back home to the cities. Realizing she was really falling for this guy - Cory followed and finished up her degree at the U of M.

In 2020 they decided to move back to Duluth - and bought a house!!

On Valentine’s Day of 2021 Sam proposed at the top of peak 10 in Breckenridge! Cory said yes and barely made her way back down the mountain 😆

After a few job changes, curling tournaments, trips around the world, moves, and projects around their house - Sam and Cory are so excited to begin this next chapter of their lives together.   They can’t wait to be with all their favorite people on June 4th to help them celebrate!! ❤️❤️
