We spent a lot of time together as friends in high school. We eventually fell in love, and after a few tough years of long distance in college, we realized we didn't want something this special to get lost. We've spent many years together looking for new adventures and loving life.

On one of our many travel adventures, we planned a belated anniversary dinner at a special restaurant for the first evening of the trip. Rob surprised Steph by proposing at the start of the meal, and of course she said "Yes!" After enjoying our champagne toast and very special anniversary dinner, we got to spend the rest of our vacation celebrating our engagement. Rob was especially proud that Steph was unknowingly carrying around her engagement ring all day in her purse before he proposed.

We are getting married at Black Bear Crossings at the Como Lakeside Pavilion in Saint Paul, MN. Our ceremony will take place in the outdoor promenade overlooking beautiful Lake Como.

Our wedding reception is also located at Black Bear Crossings. Please join us for good food, drinks, music and dancing! Also enjoy our photo booth and help us create some wonderful memories!

We'd like to thank both sets of our parents for raising us in wonderful, loving homes, and for always being there to provide a listening ear and good advice. And most recently, for helping us plan our wedding. No one could ask for better parents - we love you very much!

We feel so blessed by the tremendous support and love from our family and friends. We are looking forward to celebrating our wedding day with all of you! Thanks for joining us!
