Pete and Emily met the old fashioned way..... on a dating website called Bumble back in April of 2016. At the time, Emily was finishing up law school in Valparaiso and Pete was living in Valparaiso working at a local steel mill. Eventually, the two agreed to meet up for dinner and drinks at a restaurant called "Stacks", which was supposed to be reminiscent of a library. (Ironic given Emily spent most of her time in a library) Despite how awkward first dates can be, the two eventually ended up walking to several restaurants and bars that night having a great time together. Pete then drove Emily home, and it was discovered they had been living only several blocks from each other. The rest you can say is history. From that first date, Pete helped Emily study and pass the Bar; they bought their first house in Valparaiso; adopted their first pet, a cat named Lucy; sold their house; moved to Indianapolis; survived living a year apart during the pandemic while Pete looked for a new job; bought a house in downtown Indianapolis; became landlords; got 2 pandemic puppies, Phoebe and Cali; moved again; renovated a house; moved again and so much more. To say our lives have been full and busy in the last 7 years would be an understatement. We are excited to finally begin the next chapter of our lives! Thank you each for being a part of our lives and helping us celebrate this milestone. In order to allow all guests, including parents, a night of relaxation, we have chosen for our wedding to be an adult only occasion. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
