We have rented a villa in Cesolo, Marche, Italy for all our guests to stay at during our wedding week. The dates for our wedding week are Tuesday, May 13th, to Sunday, May 18th, 2025. We’re requesting RSVP’s no later than December 15th. Pricing and travel details to follow (we are estimating it will be $500 per person; that includes, lodging, transportation, and meals.)

We matched on Hinge on August 15, 2019, and just two days later, we met for the first time at a brewery with his friends. From the moment we started talking, it was clear we had something special—we clicked instantly and spent the night dancing, laughing, and sharing stories. That night ended with our first kiss, and we weren’t ready to say goodbye just yet. We went back to my apartment, where, despite the lack of furniture, we spent hours talking on the living room floor. We finally went to bed at 4 a.m., settling onto a blow-up mattress, already knowing this was the start of something unforgettable

Colby and I had both been eager to visit the Pablo Picasso exhibit at the Cincinnati Art Museum, which happened to be right near the spot where he asked me to be his girlfriend four years ago. After the museum, Colby suggested we take a walk to our special spot on the bridge 'for old time's sake.' As we reached the place where our journey together officially began, Colby got down on one knee, and to my surprise, a photographer was secretly capturing the moment. But the surprises didn’t end there. After the proposal, Colby told me we were heading to his aunt's house to celebrate with some family, but instead, he had arranged for my family to travel all the way from Minnesota to Cincinnati to join us in celebrating this unforgettable moment. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Italy!
