We are aware of the Montgomery County’s event recommendations for the area. Because we are a private-held event at a private venue, it is only a recommendation and not mandatory. After much thought and both personal and professional guidance, we will have our wedding as scheduled. We have been in constant contact with vendors regarding health and safety precautions that are being taken for this event. We will have an abundance of soap and hand santizer and encourage everyone to practice good hygiene. However, if you are sick or don’t feel comfortable coming, we whole-heartedly understand. Your health is what is most important and we look forward to celebrating with you at another time. Please let us know if you have any questions or need to update your RSVP.

As with most relationships in today's dating world, it all began with a right swipe (Thanks, Bumble!). After a week or two of effortless and daily communication, on a Tuesday, he asked if he could pick me up and take me to dinner. I was immediately smitten with his manners and, despite friends urging me to simply meet him at the restaurant (Sorry, Rach!!), I said yes. I'll never forget what he said when I opened the door, "You look wonderful." Minus the proposal, those are my favorite words he's ever said to me. Sitting down that night with Jonathan on our first date felt more like coming home than it ever did meeting a stranger. I was instantly put at ease (which was a nice change of pace after frantically switching outfits 5 times leading up to our date!). We talked about our friends, families, values, and funny stories from college. To this day, we still spend countless hours at the kitchen counter talking over dinner and wine while playing our favorite songs. Listening to him gush about his nieces and nephew (who are very gush-worthy, btw!), to hearing him talk about his hopes for the future made me stop in my tracks. I knew this was the man I wanted to be with. Because with every story I wanted to know more. And I did find out more! In fact we had 3 more dates that same week. Cheers to 100 more years of learning, my love!

Our story began in January 2018, in a way that’s not so uncommon nowadays. We had both been on a dating app called Bumble. After being on the site for a while I didn’t have any luck until my older brother and sister-in-law gave a some input on what my profile looked like. Thank goodness they did!! It wasn’t even a week after that I had matched with the most amazing woman I had and will ever meet. After talking each day and a failed attempt to take her out, because I got sick, she said yes when I asked again. (I later found out that she thought I wasn’t interested and was faking sick LOL!!). She was way more beautiful than I could have ever expected. I was actually speechless when I saw her for the first time, and that’s a big deal coming from me. It was by far and away the best date ever! We very quickly grew closer because of similarities and our Czech backgrounds. And what we don't have in common seems to always be what helps balance us out. Our value for family time is at the core of our relationship. Whether it's her family trip to Lake Rayburn or driving to the hill country to visit my family, we're thankful for those moments together. When I “finally” proposed, I made sure of two things: 1, that it was a surprise and 2, that her family was there. Luckily, not only did she say yes (duh), but her exact response was an enthusiastic,” HELL YES!!”. I couldn’t have found a more perfect, caring and thoughtful partner to spend the rest of my life with.
