Welcome
CHANGE OF PLANS (OOPS, WE DID IT AGAIN)
Due to the recent circumstances, we have decided to postpone the big event YET AGAIN until Saturday, August 28th. Nothing is more important to us than creating a safe and comfortable environment for our guests.
On Saturday, May 1, 2021, we had an intimate 20-person ceremony at the Morton Arboretum, where we were officially married! We will celebrate with our bridal party and extended family and friends in a full reception on Saturday, August 28th at Blumen Gardens. The social restrictions are everchanging, so please be patient with us, as we are trying our best to balance everyone's safety with maintaining the original guest list. This may not be a possibility depending on restrictions, and any updates will be communicated via this website.
Nevertheless, welcome to our wedding website, we can’t wait to celebrate our special day with you. We’ve created this website as a convenient and interactive way to share all of the important details with you as our reception approaches. You can read more about hotel and shuttle accommodations, reception details, and check out our registry information too. So have fun, take a look around and don’t forget to RSVP!
Finally – thank you for your ongoing love and support. We are so excited to share this day with you and look forward to dancing the night away with all of our favorite people!
