Our Wedding

Aaron and Jenna met at Rum River South in Cambridge, MN. They worked together for several years and learned they were a pretty great team. Aaron and Jenna have been together for just over 10 years and have built a life they are very proud of. While their story and path has never been traditional, their connection and love is as timeless as ever. Whether working on a remodeling project, exploring a new city, or enjoying a cigar in the backyard, Aaron and Jenna know how to have a good time and enjoy one another for who they are.

Tira's daughters are Jenna's Goddaughters. Trespassing in an abandoned sanitarium in Bemidji. Fun fact: Tira and Jenna attempted to give Joel and Jody a rescue dog--they did not take the dog...

Tim Seeger

Met: Likely at a bearding event....but which one!? Friends Since: 2018 when it became clear this dynamic leadership duo was a bearding force to be reckoned with. Relationship Highlights: Serving on the MBMC Board together since 2020; reroofing Tim's carpark in a weekend; attending beard competitions in WI, SD, MO, Ely, TRF, and Isanti County. Enjoying many cigars and cold beverages while stroking their face hair. Fun fact: Tim "Timmy Two-Beards" Seeger once sported the least desirable facial hair style: Goatee...thankfully he has come to his senses, or that his wife, Erin, intervened.

Samantha Pulkrabek

Met: Through Jordan, Jenna's brother. Friends Since: The evening of Feb. 14th 2017, when Jenna's brother proposed to Samantha--making them friends and sisters, by law! Relationship Highlights: Samantha IS the highlight of the relationship with Jenna! She also is the mother to Jenna's greatest joys, Savanna and Ada. They've spent many summer days on the boat, dreaming of creating a self-sustaining family compound on the farm... Fun fact: Samantha grew up outside of Chicago, which is one of Jenna's favorite cities! She also has the uncanny ability to bring lightness and calm to any Pulkrabek family event...

Jordan Pulkrabek

Met: Grand Forks, North Dakota at United Hospital (Jenna); North Dakota State College of Science (Aaron) Friends Since: Depending on the definition of "friend", this date is debatable.... Relationship Highlights: Jenna dressing Jordan up in her fancy dresses (this finally stopped when Jordan was 17); Jordan cutting Jenna's finger off; Aaron's continued efforts to help Jordan grow some semblance of facial hair Fun fact: Aaron met Jordan before he met Jenna. Yes, there's a story. No, I won't share it here. Yes, you can ask either of them about it.
