Our Wedding

Carter and Tatiana first crossed paths on September 8, 2018, at a college party in Mankato, MN. From that day forward, Carter began spending more time with the friend group they shared, quickly becoming a regular presence. Fast forward to April 2020 and the COVID shutdown. With college life on pause, Carter and Tatiana’s two houses spent more and more time together. By summer, even though Tatiana had moved to Texas for graduate school, the two stayed connected and were talking nonstop. Finally, on October 8, 2020, Tatiana decided to make things official and ask Carter out (though Carter insists he was planning to ask her just a week later when she visited home). They spent two years making cross-country long-distance work before moving in together in Beloit, WI. After 9 months and a graduate degree later, the two (and their pup, JoJo) moved back to Minnesota—the place they now call home. On September 1, 2024, Carter proposed to Tatiana at his family’s cabin, right on the dock—her favorite spot. They can’t wait to celebrate their next big step surrounded by the people they love most!
