Kim & Nate

Kim Stull and Nate Anderson met like any normal couple—at the 12 Bars of Christmas, of course. Nate was in the Cities from Washington visiting family and friends when he bumped into Kim—who only planned on attending the bar crawl for a little while—twice throughout the night. After some long-distance communication, Nate moved to Minneapolis. Nine months later he bent to one knee and was short for words — "It so sweet to see this man that always had something to say lose his words," says Kim —when he proposed in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, which was also the site for their June ceremony. The couple now lives as a happy family, complete with a dog, cat and a little Anderson who will make his or her debut in November.
