Meg and Ben

Dru & Mark met in our sophomore year at University of Northern Iowa. After graduation we were married in Monticello, Iowa May 1975. Mark began working for General Mills in the summer of 1975. Dru had a multifaceted career: teaching in high school, then transitioning to computer support and training, eventually having her own computer training company and then working for Campbell Soup and then General Mills in sales & category management. General Mills transferred Mark & Dru nine times.

Dru and Mark are now retired and living in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We live a few blocks from the Ocean. We enjoy bicycling together and travelling in the U.S. and abroad.

Dan & Julie met their Freshman year at Augsburg college in Minneapolis in the spring of 1979. Dan tackled Julie during a Phy Ed class playing field hockey. That was the beginning of a great friendship! Living in houses across the street from each other at school and having all their roommates as friends really made their relationship bloom! They were married on August 6th, 1983. Their first home was in NE Minneapolis, followed by Fridley, MN and in 1993 moved with their three children to Plymouth where they still live today. Dan has taught English, Phy Ed, and has been an Activities Director (currently at Fridley High school). In the past he has coached High School and some college football, wrestling, track, cheerleading and badminton. Julie is currently working as a Commodity Manager at a company who develops, builds and sells 3D printers worldwide.

Some of their favorite things to do are go to movies (popcorn every time!), spend time at the cabin and get together with family and friends. They also love spending time with their Grandson Will who was born in Sept. 2020.

Ben and Meg, we are so happy for the two of you! You bring light and love to each other and to your friends and family. We enjoy spending time with you, laughing and learning more about you as a couple. We also have loved getting to know Tippi. You are both smart, kind, funny and caring individuals and a beautiful couple. We give thanks to God for your relationship. Many blessings to you going forward as you build your lives together. We love you!
