According to Shelley....

Chad and I first layed eyes on each other at Allina where we work. I can remember always trying to make conversation with him but was to shy. I would ask him questions that I already knew the answer to and asked him to show me how to do things. He was always very caring and would do anything for me. I would wait for him to get back everyday just so I could see him. We started dating in the winter of 2008 and found we liked a lot of the same things and doing them together. As time went on I knew Chad was the one for me. He treats me like a queen:)

According to Chad....

For me it was just another day at Allina except this day was Shelleys first day and I was in love at first sight . After many end of day conversations I finally had a date. Everything we talked about was like talking to my best friend, our interests and hobbies had me hooked when I knew she was the one for me.

Our love of the beach and water makes our beach wedding very exciting for us and hopefully all of you too. The ceremony is going to be very casual, we are hoping for everyone to wear a lot of white and take advantage of the sun and warm breeze. It is only a matter of time until I take those first steps down the sandy aisle in my wedding dress to become Mrs. Chad Ludwig! This will be an event to remember and we can't wait to share it with all of you! We will be leaving Minnesota on February 1st and returning on February 8th and getting married on Tuesday February 4th at 3pm.

If you are unable to make it to the wedding in the Dominican, don't worry our reception will be fun and fabulous! Please join us and celebrate our new lives as Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig! There will be food, drinks, dancing, music and good times for all! Our wedding reception will be held at home in the spring/summer. We will keep you updated on the details.
