Our story truly starts in our Sophomore year of college at NDSU, although we had known each other through mutual friends in Greek Life for about a year. Thanks to our shared stony-faced appearance when it comes to meeting new people, we both assumed that the other really wasn't that interested in striking up a conversation.

During the summer between our Freshman and Sophomore year, I had gone back up to visit friends and to finish moving out of my apartment. Upon returning back to the Twin Cities, I was surprised to see a message from none other than Garett himself. I thought it very odd that he would have messaged me, as we'd had each other's contacts for a year with neither of us utilizing the connection at all. The conversation started off with a very suave and eloquent "hey", which was met admittedly with an equally eloquent "hi" from me... (We sure were the chatty type) I've since chalked it up to nerves on both ends. Eventually, Garett revealed his reason for reaching out was to ask me to see Toy Story 4, which he was unable to convince any of his other friends to go see with him. I agreed, and we spent the rest of the summer making the drive from Saint Paul to Cannon Falls to see each other.

To my surprise and delight, I discovered a goofy, loving, wonderful man behind the exterior that I had first seen. Over these last years, we have laughed and cried, shared our highs and our lows, and have loved each other well. It is our complete honor to ask you all to attend the celebration of our love, and we are looking forward to meeting you all out on the dance floor!

With love,

Wynne and Garett
