Our original plan was to simply go to the courthouse. When we asked our pastor to officiate, she suggested we have a surprise ceremony during worship service. So, we got married at Magnolia United Church of Christ in Seattle on September 30, 2018 with most of our family, many of our local Seattle friends, and our church family. It was the perfect ceremony for us. But, we are not done celebrating quite yet! We have planned a destination reception from Chicago to New Orleans via train. Our travel will begin in Chicago on July 3, 2019. Our train will arrive in New Orleans the afternoon of July 4, 2019. There will be time to explore the city together and independently- it's up to you. We will be heading back to Chicago the afternoon of July 6, 2019. We hope you can join us for the fun, the relaxing, and the celebrating.
