Shoutout to Mark Wagner, groomsman and ultimate matchmaker, for setting us up! Gus and Mark went to Bradley University together and are AEPi brothers. Fast forward to 2021: Lacey is working with Mark at the Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago… and yes, he’s her manager LOL. When Gus was moving from Pittsburgh to Chicago, Mark said we would “vibe” and insisted we go on a date. From our very first date in April 2021, we’ve been inseparable. So… thanks, Mark!
Gus proposed at Lacey’s dream location. Every summer, you can find Lacey and Gus sitting in this exact spot on Saturdays and Sundays - listening to music, reading, sipping drinks, and people-watching. This place holds so many special memories for us and will always be close to our hearts.
