Our Story

About Us We met in 2023 at Here's Cheers in Niles — a chance meeting over drinks that quickly turned into laughter, long conversations, and a feeling that we’d found something rare. Our first date was in September 2024 at Wrigley Field, cheering on the Cubs and sharing that perfect mix of excitement and easy conversation that made us both smile the whole night. We rescued our dog, Grizzly, in January 2025 — he joined our little team and brought instant chaos, cuddles, and more reasons to laugh every day. We got engaged in March 2025 on the streets of Costa Rica in Jacó — a sun-lit, unforgettable moment that felt perfectly us. Since then we’ve loved exploring new places together, trying new foods, and turning ordinary days into memories. We’re so excited to celebrate our wedding with the people who mean the most to us. Thank you for joining us as we begin this next chapter. — Julie & Andrew
