Victoria + Bob

Victoria and Bob had worked for the same company for years but in different cities, so their paths didn't cross until they both went on a work-sponsored mission trip to Kentucky in 2014 where they helped fix up houses. There they found that a lack of fear of heights was something they had in common, discovered when they both ended up working on rooftops together.

Real Weddings

Kasey + Molly

HOW WE MET:We met on Craigslist. Yeah you know, the Women Seeking Women section? Many people are shocked when we mention that. The craziest part is that since finding each other on CL, we have come to find many other life changing things. Like the home we are in now and our adorable miniature dachs- hund, Prince.

Hali + Brian

HOW I MET MY OWN AARON RODGERS Well, for the record, as he's for sure going to want me to clarify - Brian is a VIKINGS fan! When we met I wasn't looking for love. I wasn't really interested in dating. I NEVER thought I'd get married or fall in love. And then things happened. I knew right away he was the one.

Ashley + Josh

Ashley and Josh grew up just three short hours away from one another in Minnesota, but it took a college class trip to Mexico to bring them together.

The Wilds of Marriage

Marriage is one of the best adventures of a lifetime...but it's an art and a constant work in progress. As unrealistic as it is to think that every day of your new life together will be a fairytale, is it absolutely possible to navigate the highs, lows and in-betweens and grow your relationship stronger than you'd ever have imagined. Dave and Amy Freeman are a great testament to the power of strong communication and aligned goals and ambitions.

Minnesota After I Do

Rethinking Home

Marriage, future, forever home. You did it! You're marriage to "the one"...Now what? Like most newlyweds, you might be thinking, "What's next?" Traditionally, buying a home and raising a family is the general way things are done, don't you think? But in today's world, there are many different ways to go about your life. Your life doesn't have to follow the average way and neither does your home.

Minnesota Real Weddings

Megan + Brandon

Romance might not be what you'd typically think to find in the restaurant world but that's just what happened with Megan and Brandon. Brandon - back of the house hiring and training manager and Megan - front of house hiring and training manager seemed destined for each other.
