We met during the pandemic, and our first date took place walking through a beautiful garden in one of Illinois’ most spiritual towns, Makanda. We fell in love, moved in together and now have a zoo of pets. Lovers of the Earth and all things nature, we’ve decided to tie the knot in the only place that felt right. Found in Giant City State Park, nestled in the Shawnee National Forest - Makanda will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we know you’ll feel it too. We hope to see you all on our special day.
