Dan and I originally met in 2016, when Dan owned Good Ass Beer. To make some extra money, Cari and I worked as beer girls - passing out samples at a beer convention. We had the best time with Dan with non-stop laughter and singing Disney songs. It was an instant friendship but that invisible string connecting them had other plans for the next 7 years. Their love story wasn’t quite ready to begin.

Randomly in May of 2023, Dan sent me a Facebook message asking to get together and catch up. I wasn't sure if it was a "date", but I knew that seeing Dan would definitely brighten up my day and I could count on him to have fun and laugh, no matter what we decided to do!

I did NOT want to be in charge of planning. Dan went into action and within SECONDS had sent me tickets to a St. Paul Saints game. On our first date, we just knew and haven't really been apart since. We love to explore, travel, play games of really any kind, laugh, dance, and spend time with those we love.

On our third date we said, "Does getting married next May or June work for you?"

and here we are...

It took us a long time to find one another and cannot wait to start this next chapter in our story as husband and wife!
