The Wedding Party
Aaron
The Best Man
Aaron and I met on the very first day of college orientation and it was friendship at first sight. Since meeting, we've been classmates, teammates, roommates, and now, best men at each others' weddings.
Ben
The Officiant
Ben was there 1400 days ago, when we met for the first time at Culver's. Ben was a catalyst for that dazzling encounter, as he organized the road trip. There was no one better to officiate this next stage in life.
Michelle
The Sister
Since 1991, Michelle holds the esteemed title of Only Sibling as Atsuko brings none to the table. Despite the pandemic, we really wanted to make sure Michelle was with us at our tiny ceremony.
Sarah
The Maid of Honor
A friendship going back to freshman year of high school, Sarah has stuck by me despite my severe lack of interest in all of her favorite movies. Sarah laid claim to Maid of Honor in about 2008. Dreams do come true!
The Wedding Ceremony
We got married on December 31st at the High Bridge Overlook in Saint Paul, Minnesota, outside on a balmy 24°F afternoon.
Thank You, Parents!
We are grateful for our parents' support and are inspired by their decades of marriage. Here are some pictures from their big days.
