Travel

The Wedding Website of Shawn Miller and Ivan Gilkes
The Georgia Room at the Freehand Hotel is in the Gramercy Park / Midtown East neighborhood of Manhattan. You'll be in the middle of it all - and have easy access to popular tourist locations using the nearby 6 train which connects to the 4&5, NQRW & L trains at Union Square. We've selected two hotels for blocks for our out-of-town guests, info below!

September 2019: Our trip to San Francisco when we knew things were "real". Shawn was living in Phoenix, Ivan was living in New York, so time together was coveted.
September 2020: Shawn moved to New York earlier in March, but a certain pandemic upended things. Day trips around the city were our way of "traveling".
April 2021: Ivan is a sleepy guy on the train and it's cute.
June 2021: Celebrating pride with friends.
July 2022: apparently.
February 2023: Our peace signs go international on our first trip to Mexico together.
November 2024: Meeting Alexis Mateo. Tears may or may not have been shed. Ivan has gone blond, Shawn has grown a beard.
April 2025: Experiencing one of the 300+ sunny days in Arizona at Shawn's cousin's wedding, just happy to be alive from skydiving the day prior.
