Erik and Kelli met on E-harmony. Erik had moved to Minneapolis from Milwaukee and was looking to meet new people. Kelli, on a whim, decided to join the site to see what the hype was all about because she had friends who’d joined and told her good things about it. Three days after Kelli joined she was matched with Erik and a few weeks later they went on their first date and really hit it off. The two started dating in November of 2011 and were engaged a week after Valentine’s Day in 2014.

Erik planned a romantic proposal at his cabin and had his whole family in on the plan. The weather wasn’t cooperating on the drive and Kelli begged Erik to turn around and go home because the roads were terrible! They did get there eventually and headed out for some snowmobiling with the family. During one stop to take some pictures, Erik pretended that the sled wasn’t starting and asked Kelli to look in the back for the tool kit. When she turned around he was on one knee! Surprise!

Out came the champagne and glasses right there on the trail to celebrate. Another surprise awaited Kelli when they returned to the cabin. Erik’s mom and sister had decorated the whole place with hearts, candles, and pictures of the couple. Then they all had an amazing dinner together to celebrate the engagement. What a thoughtful proposal!

While there was no sledding at the wedding, these two had an exciting and happy day on August 29th, 2015. The storms stayed away and sunshine presided over their fun celebration with family and friends. The Golf Club grounds had many beautiful spots to capture this memorable occasion and the bride and groom were smiling for every moment.

Many thanks and congratulations to the happy couple!
