The Outpost Center Wedding :: Chaska, MN

Kelly and Sean’s love story began in a church life group, where they bonded over their mutual love for volleyball. Their friendship deepened through their regular “Game Night Tuesdays.” Sean would visit Kelly and her mom every Tuesday, and they would play a few rounds of Settlers of Catan, keeping a tally sheet of all their wins. This simple tradition became a cornerstone of their relationship, filled with laughter, competition, and growing affection.

Sean’s proposal was a testament to his thoughtful and caring nature. What was supposed to be a day of skiing turned into a hiking adventure at Interstate Park on a cold January day. Bundled up in warm gear, they hiked through the nearly deserted park, reminiscing about their journey together. At the third scenic overlook, Sean asked Kelly three important questions before getting down on one knee and asking for her hand in marriage. Overwhelmed with excitement, they cut their hike short and headed back to Maple Grove for a celebratory dinner Sean had planned.

On a hot July day, family and friends gathered at The Outpost Center in Chaska, MN, to celebrate Kelly and Sean’s beautiful union. The day was filled with love, joy, and the vibrant colors of summer, as the couple began their new journey together.

The morning began with anticipation and excitement, as Kelly shared her first look with her bridesmaids. Their faces lit up with admiration and joy, setting a heartfelt tone for the rest of the day. The emotional moment continued as Kelly’s father saw his daughter in her stunning wedding dress from David’s Bridal for the first time, creating a memory that will be cherished forever.

The Outpost Center, known for its picturesque fields of wildflowers, was in full bloom. Pinks, yellows, and various brightly colored hues swayed gently in the summer sun, while birds flew overhead, adding a touch of magic to the day. The setting was perfect for the celebration, embodying the natural beauty and warmth of the couple’s love.

The bridesmaids wore dresses in shades of blue, complementing the vibrant wildflowers. Kelly’s nieces and nephews played the charming roles of ring bearers and flower girls, adding a touch of innocence and delight to the ceremony. The men looked dashing in their navy suits from Knights Chamber, perfectly matching the elegant yet relaxed atmosphere of the day.
