The couple’s first date was fishing on a creek near Crawford, Nebraska. One snowy day, Calder took Kerri back to the same spot. When he asked Kerri to pick a fly out of his tackle box, he got on one knee and asked her to stay hooked on him forever.

“Start planning early,” Kerri said, “it makes the entire planning process less stressful.” Starting early meant they had time to plan thoughtful details throughout the day. Kerri’s grandparents celebrated their 61st anniversary on the day of the wedding, so the couple had a special cake cutting to celebrate. It was the perfect way to share the love as they started their own happily ever after.

THE PERFECT CATCH

Kerri’s favorite part of their wedding day was sharing their vows together during the ceremony. “I only remember being with him. I didn’t even notice anyone else around us,” she said.
