Lucas proposed to Emma at one of the very first places they started to fall in love over five years ago. Keep reading below for more on their love story.
The Perfect Proposal
Lucas took Emma and his two dogs, Leroy and Lulu, on a hike and picnic the morning before the proposal. Later that day, Emma was told to get ready for a "nice dinner" with some of her family that was in town. Emma's mom told her they were meeting at her grandparent's house, but instead of walking to the house Lucas brought her down to the water with a gorgeous surprise that changed her life forever. Emma's grandparents and mother live on this beautiful quarry, which also happens to be the place they first started getting to know each other in the summer of 2018. After Emma said "Obviously, YES!" she was yet again surprised with an engagement party down by the river with all of their closest friends and family.
The Beginning
Emma and Lucas knew of each other for several years and their paths crossed many times. However, they never got the chance to talk much until the summer of 2018. After a few group activities, such as quarry days, soccer matches, Uno games, movie nights, 100% Poly concerts, and boat outings on the lake, Lucas finally worked up the nerve to ask Emma out on an official date: Bowling. Despite this not being her favorite activity in the world (especially since Lucas is WAY better and they both have a competitive side), it was still the best date Emma had ever been on. Fast forward to December 19th, Lucas planned a thoughtful date of dinner, ice skating, and watching the movie "It's a Wonderful Life." That night after the movie, Lucas officially asked Emma to be his girlfriend, which led to the beginning of their "Wonderful Life" together forever.

FAQ
Question
RSVP?
Answer
We have invited our closest family and friends to join us in celebrating our marriage! Due to our large families and limited seating, we are only able to accommodate children that are within the family and listed on your RSVP form. We kindly ask that your RSVP for each part of the day accurately reflects the full number of your group.
Question
Dress Code?
Answer
We kindly ask that our guests dress in formal or cocktail attire. We want you to feel and dress your best! The only part of the day outdoors will be the cocktail hour on the shaded patio, so please dress accordingly. Our colors are dusty blue, gold, tan, and various shades of light blue. Please refrain from wearing jeans and traditional colors reserved for the bride (white, cream, or ivory).

Answer
The ceremony will take place at St. Mary's Catholic Church in downtown New Albany. The cocktail hour and reception will be held at The Woods at Cedar Springs, which is about 35 minutes away from the church. Please note that the start time for the cocktail hour on the 'Schedule' page is an estimate, and you are welcome to head straight to the cocktail hour following the ceremony! We hope you will take advantage of this time for hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, beautiful scenery, and socializing. See the 'Schedule' page for more details about the itinerary for our wedding day.
