Xcel Energy Center

I had been engaged to Eva for about a year before we started planning for the actual event. Once we picked the date and location in the middle of January 2008, I bought tickets to a Swarm game and invited my close friends. We all played lacrosse in college, so it’s always fun for us to watch a game together. I had let them know that Eva and I had set a date before the game started, and said that I hoped that they could make it. Once Minnesota scored their first goal, I turned to my best friend and yelled at him “BE MY BEST MAN!”. It was pretty hilarious, because Jordan turned to me and we hugged, and I’m sure it confused the heck out of everyone there. Everyone was super happy for Jordan at that point, and we all got drunk on the $5 beers and it was just like old times. We stayed up till six in the morning and it turned out to be a great unexpected night. After that, I couldn’t see how any night out with my friends would top that.
