We met online in 2017. Amanda was the first one to message Jeremy and we had an instant connection! After a few weeks of texting and talking on the phone, we had our first date in October. By December New Year's Eve, we were in a relationship. The rest is history!
Jeremy secretly gathered our closest friends and family to meet at one of our favorite places, the Chicago Botanic Gardens. On July 23rd, 2023 he took Amanda to one of the more secluded areas where everyone was waiting and surprise! He got down on one knee and asked Amanda to marry him. She ecstatically said "Yes!"
4:30 pm - 11:30 pm
Most of our guests plan on attending in semi-formal attire. Come dressed up to celebrate!
The Ceremony will be held outside at Cantigny Park on the East Lawn. The Reception will follow shortly after with a cocktail hour and is just down the road at Cantigny Golf in the Woodside Pavilion Tent. We can't wait to see you!

Jeremy's father, Earl, will be marring us. As a church elder, he has performed multiple ceremonies and we are beyond excited to have him share in this special moment with us.

Mother of the Bride
The Bride's Mother went to be with the Lord in December 2014. If she were here today, she would be walking the bride down the aisle with her father.
