In 2021, a Chicago-born fish biologist named Jeff swiped right on an adventurous teacher named Laura, and just like that, fate (and WiFi) brought us together. A week after meeting, we knew—we were each other’s person. Some might call it fast; we call it efficient. Since then, we’ve built a three-dog empire, bought a house that they graciously allow us to live in, and perfected the art of outdoor adventures—hiking, cross-country skiing, and figuring out how to fit all the dog beds in one room. Jeff hunts, Laura mountain bikes, and together we navigate life’s most pressing dilemmas—like who has to get up when all three dogs demand breakfast at 5 AM. We don’t take life too seriously, and our wedding is no exception. Instead of a big, fancy affair, we’re celebrating with a small, intimate, happily-ever-after party—good food, great company, and lots of love. We can’t wait to celebrate with you. Also, we don't expect or want wedding gifts. We have everything we need and just want to celebrate with you.
