When I first met this tandem, I was immediately struck by Nate's adoration of Leah. He is a guy who KNOWS he has it good getting to marry this incredible lady. His enthusiasm for life and relationships drew me in and I just love the heart and intentionality they put behind this celebration. It was a perfect mix of Nate's love for fun and Leah's class. The two love the Gophers. I mean, a little obsessed in this case is a great thing. For months we watched as they finished the last touches on the new TCF Football Stadium at the heart of campus. As Nate is employed by the Gophers, we had an all-access pass to venture to the top suites, the Gopher locker room, even rush the field and practice our best touchdown celebrations! It was any Golden Gopher fan dream day and I had to continuously pinch myself. The party flowed back to the urban International Market Square where the two got to be stars in their own personal "Superbowl of life." As the sky grew dark and the skyline glistened, one final stroll to close out the evening was especially memorable. It was an honor to be with you two and consider you friends.
