Ben and Clare both attended Willowbrook High School in Villa Park, IL. Ben graduated in 2007 and Clare in 2009. They knew of each other and had similar friend groups but their paths never crossed. Fast forward to 2016, Ben had a Hawaiian party at his apartment in Chicago and Clare went with a few of her girlfriends. We hit it off immediately, bonding over our mutual love for dogs, family, food, and traveling. Needless to say from that point on we have been inseparable.
One night when we were out to dinner it came up that we have both always wanted a tropical beach wedding (that was easy...). We both love traveling, food, and boozin' it up. What better way to do all of those things than with your favorite people on a beach in Mexico?! We want everyone to think of this as YOUR VACATION. The only plans we have are on the night of the wedding - ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and after party. The rest of the time is yours, which we want you to enjoy! We could not be more excited to celebrate the next step in our journey with each of you, who have played (and will continue to play) such an important part in our adventure!
