Our wedding will be on October 17th, 2009.  We are getting married at St. Mary of Lake church in White Bear Lake.  The reception is at the Grand Banquet Hall in Stillwater. 

We have blocked off rooms at the AmericInn in Stillwater.   You can make your hotel reservation by calling 888.205.3488 or 651.275.0908.  Be sure to ask for the Otto/Schumacher wedding rate.

So here's our story. . .

Once upon a time a girl emailed a boy about going out on a date (with much support by her stepmom who stated, "he'd be the perfect son-in-law.")  Two weeks later, the boy replied to her email (really, it was two weeks).  The boy and girl continued to email back and forth for two more weeks.  Finally the boy asked the girl to go on a date and they did.  Their first date was at Sweeney's.  That summer they went to see an Amos Lee concert, a few Saints games, a few Twins games, and frequented the St. Clair Broiler.  They continued to date for two years and finally the boy popped the question.  That night the boy and girl ate dinner at Paza Luna, went to see Rent at the Ordway, sat in Rice Park by the fountain, and ate cheesecake at Cafe Latte.  It was perfect.  The next year was spent planning the wedding and buying a house.  And that boy and girl moved into their first home in Stillwater this May.  And the best is yet to come! . . .
