Description
Katelyn Stalboerger and Isaac Nelson met when they were teenagers and kept in touch on and off for years. When Stalboerger was away from her home state Minnesota for grad school in Alabama, she and Nelson started dating and decided to get married this year.

Stalboerger turned to TikTok with a plea for help, racking up 6 million views.
Minnesota Now producer Ellen Finn spoke to Katelyn Nelson (né Stalboerger) about how in 11 days, strangers came together to pull off a wedding at a whole new venue.
