As many of you know, our cozy home is already bursting at the seams with love (and Lego's). We’ve decided to skip the traditional gift registry. Your well-wishes and dance floor moves are all we require! We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Travel Note

To our Guests Traveling to Canet, France

To our France Guests: We recommend staying at Les Flamant Roses hotel in Canet. There are 2 options. The main hotel https://hotel.les-flamants-roses.com/fr or the connected apartments next door https://www.guestreservations.com/residence-les-fl Getting to Canet: Getting to Canet (Canet-en-Roussillon) is easy with several travel options. The closest airport is Perpignan (PGF), just a 20-minute drive away, with connections via Paris and other European cities; Barcelona (BCN) is another popular option, about 2.5 hours by car. By train, guests can travel to Perpignan Station via high-speed train from Paris or from Barcelona, then continue by taxi to the hotel. For those driving, Canet is accessible via major highways (A9), making it a scenic and straightforward trip by car. We are looking forward to spending time with family and friends the day before the wedding, May 28th as we will traveling back to Chicago early Saturday morning, May 30th to get back for our Chicago ceremony!
