We're Getting Married!

Hello, everyone! We are officially moving forward 100% as planned. Please continue to view our website for additional updates. If there are any critical updates, we will reach out to everyone directly. To note, based on our wedding location, we are following STL City guidelines, not STL County guidelines. For our reception, we will be requiring all guests to arrive wearing a mask. Temperatures will be checked at the door prior to entering. Inside - our venue will have masks available (free) to hand out if you are in need of one. We will also have plenty of hand sanitizer available. All vendor staff will be wearing masks + gloves. Masks will be encouraged throughout the reception, but not enforced. Our venue's capacity is over 400. They are currently operating at a 50% capacity - which allows us to have around 200 guests. We will NOT be having 200 guests. We will be having between 130-140 guests. There will not be a plated seating for dinner. We are having multiple food stations. Each station will be run by one of our caterer’s culinary experts who will be handing out food to each guest. Since there will not be reserved table seating, it will be MORE than possible to keep a social distance from others for the duration of our reception. We will have mixed style seating - couches, chairs, tables, etc. Pending weather, we will also be setting up seating, tables, + some food outside. Wherever you'd like to "plant yourself" for the reception is up to you! and let me just say - the bar is HUGE. Ian + I are extremely confident + positive that this event will be a success. We kindly ask that you please be respectful + courteous of others during the event and follow the guidelines we will have in place. Let's party!

A true Tinder success story. Ian and I both swiped right and met for the first time on our first date in the heart of downtown St. Louis. I was living in a loft downtown, and Ian drove almost an hour to meet me on a Tuesday night in July. We bought some frozen pizza from the corner Culinaria. We ate the pizza in my apartment while playing with my newly adopted kittens and learning more about each other. We then went to Flamingo Bowl for some bowling and drinks, and the rest is history!

To celebrate Christmas, Ian's Aunt Marcie + Uncle Roger hosted the family at their home in Geneva, IL. We spent the day leading up to the party getting ready, hosting a few members of Ian's family at our apartment in Lisle, and meeting my dad, stepmom, and sister for drinks in downtown Geneva. As we were on our way to the party, I truly had no idea for what was about to happen next. We were running a bit late to the party. The snow was falling outside and everyone was already inside Marcie and Roger's home, so I was quick to try and get inside. However, as we walked onto the sidewalk, Ian grabbed my hand, pulled me back, got down on one knee, and asked me to marry him! Of course I said yes immediately! My sister was there to capture the moment on her camera, and as we walked inside, everyone greeted us with their excitement and love (and champagne!) for our big announcement! It was a truly perfect celebration, and we will never forget it. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Saint Louis!
