It was sophomore year at UMD in a sociology class called “Marriage & Families.” In a crowded lecture hall of 250 students, Sarah noticed Kyle the moment he walked in. On day one, the stars aligned when the professor divided the class into groups of five students each, groups they’d sit and work with all semester. When Sarah & Kyle were assigned to the same group (do the math – what are the odds?), that was it: A chain of events was set in motion.

Nine years, one dog, and three states later, they said “I do” at The Glensheen Mansion surrounded by 30 of their closest friends & fam. Although their vintage Christmas wedding officially put me in the holiday spirit, it was their crazy joy for one another that made me giddy & reminded me why I do this thing! Believe it or not, temps hovered around zero degrees Fahrenheit all day, but you’d never know it. Laughing all day keeps a Minnesotan warm (instant hand warmers + Steger Mukluks certainly don’t hurt!). Cheers to my friends at Northland Special Events & the entire Glensheen team for designing a stunning day while Sarah & Kyle planned from afar.
