Dearest family and friends, We invite you to celebrate our marriage across the world on the beautiful Grecian island of Samos! Because the journey from Chicago to Greece is extensive, we would be thrilled and thankful if you could attend. The date of our wedding is Thursday, July 17, 2025 at Marnei Mare Estates in Karlovasi, Samos, Greece. Join us the week leading up to our special day by vacationing in paradise. The first step in joining us on our big day will be RSVPing under the "RSVP" section on this website. Next, it's time to book your flight to Athens & the island of Samos. See the “Travel” section of our website for more information. The second step is booking hotels & accommodations. See our “travel” section for information on villas and hotels nearby. Our wedding planner is working to provide discount group rates for hotels. At the moment, some hotels are not open for 2025’s summer season. You could wait to book hotels when they open (hopefully by the end of 2024) or you can book a Villa or Airbnb now or at your earliest convenience. Some villas near the venue are linked in our Travel section. To be close to the venue, chose a hotel or vacation rental near "Marnei Mare Estate" in Karlovasi, Samos. Or, you could stay in other areas of the island, such as Pythagoreio, which is the town closest to the airport, but about a 50 minute drive to the venue. Stay tuned for more information on further wedding details. Some questions can be answered under the "FAQ" section. Please RSVP yes or no on our website under the “RSVP” by Spring 2025 (official deadline date is TBD). Formal invitations are coming soon!
