Doug Burgum Announces Marriage and Introduces Future First Lady of North Dakota
In a Facebook post on Sunday, December 11th, Governor-Elect Doug Burgum announced his marriage to Kathryn Helgaas.
The newlyweds look as happy as can be in their wedding photo below. Burgum even used the hashtag #HowLuckyAreWe.
Although the couple is excited to share the news of their marriage, Burgum's communication director said not many details from the wedding will be released.
Burgum announced his engagement to Helgaas in a similar fashion on Facebook in August. Helgaas was the CEO of Longhorn Marketing in Fargo.
This is Burgum's second marriage as he was previously married to Karen Stoker. The former couple has three children together.
