» Here's a little about our history together...

Beginning

Our story began in 1991 when we first met at Heritage Christian School. Mandi was in 4th grade, and Tyler was in 8th grade. Years went by, and our friendship started when we were both in the high school at the same time. We had fun together with no thoughts of anything more than friendship. Tyler graduated and went to NDSU in Fargo, while Mandi was still in high school. Over the next few years, we didn’t keep in touch, except occasionally seeing each other at school events. In 2000, Mandi graduated from high school and went to college in St. Paul the same summer that Tyler graduated from NDSU with a degree in Management Information Systems.

First Date

Our first date was in October 2000, when Mandi was at home for a weekend from college. She was surprised when Tyler called her and asked her to go out for the evening. It was a “is this as friends or more?” date, which neither of us knew the answer to at that point! The date was in Grand Forks and we went bowling and to Applebee’s. We had fun catching up with each other and began emailing regularly after that.

It’s Official

Our interest in each other really took off in the summer of 2001, when Mandi was home for the summer. It was during that time that we each realized something special about the other, and began praying about a possible future relationship, but we didn’t start officially dating until January 2002 (man, it took Tyler a long time!). In 2004, Mandi graduated from Bethel College with a Nursing degree and began her job as an RN at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, MN. Tyler continued at his job at Central Boiler in Greenbush, MN. The long distance aspect of our relationship has been hard, but has also made our commitment and love for each other stronger!

The Proposal

We had been dating for almost three years when Tyler proposed to Mandi on November 26, 2004, the day after Thanksgiving. His proposal was filled with love, promise, and commitment to her. Mandi answered “yes!” immediately. We decided a seven-month engagement would be the perfect amount of time to prepare for our wedding and marriage. Now we’ve been together for a little over three years and are oh so ready to be married!

Our Future

Now, 14 years after the beginning of “our story,” we are celebrating our wedding reception at the same location that we first met- Heritage Christian School. After the wedding, we will be living in Karlstad, MN.

We are looking forward to our wedding day to make the lifelong commitment to each other and celebrate our love with our family and friends! We know God has a plan for our life and are excited to begin this journey together.

Our Wedding Day
