hannah + patrick’s story

Hannah Fromdahl had no idea what was in store when she was unexpectedly given the day off on Friday, July 19. Patrick had secretly called her boss to clear her schedule and invited her to dinner at his parents’ house. As they were getting ready, Patrick nervously suggested she wear something a little more dressed up than a workout set – hinting that the evening might be more than just a casual visit.

After a few anxious hellos inside the house, Patrick asked Hannah to walk with him down to the pier. With no ring box in sight, she wasn’t sure what to expect. But in true Patrick fashion, he had hidden the ring inside his beer can hugger. He popped the top off, pulled out the box, and got down on one knee to ask the big question – right there on the pier with a view and a quiet moment just for them.

Their wedding day was filled with joy, but one moment stood above the rest for Hannah: the doors opening at the Cathedral and walking down the aisle to see Patrick. The mix of anticipation, excitement, and love was unforgettable.
