Who knew Tinder could actually work? We grabbed a coffee, for Jake, and a hot chocolate, for Charlotte, at College Town Bagels and fielded the typical first date questions. Add in a few dinners downtown, a movie here and there, and next thing we know it's been over 6 years!

After a long drive from Savannah, Georgia to Ithaca, New York we went for a short drive to Aurora. We were strolling around the small town and found ourselves by the water behind where Charlotte grew up. While she gushed about childhood memories of swimming in the lake, Jake got on one knee and asked her to marry him. She was completely taken by surprised and blabbered "Are you kidding me!?" before finally saying yes. We celebrated by planting two Ann Magnolia trees in Aurora and gorging on dinner at Mercato.

In March of 2020 we made the difficult decision of postponing our wedding celebration until September of 2021. Instead, we decided to have a small elopement in Savannah, Georgia on our originally planned date. We were so excited to get married in a small ceremony with a close group of friends and are thrilled that we are lucky enough to celebrate again next year with our original guest list, including all of our close family and friends!

We are so excited for you to be joining us on our re-wedding day! It has been a bit of a whirlwind postponing our big day due to the coronavirus, but we are so happy that we will be celebrating safely with all our friends and family. We will be holding the ceremony and reception at the Ithaca Farmer's Market. It is a gorgeous venue on Cayuga Lake with plenty of outdoor space. We hope to see you there!
