How did we meet?
We matched on Bumble in early May 2023, and primarily talked a lot about music for a good minute (I sent Erin way too many albums for literally just having started to talk).. after a brief lapse in conversation / a couple hectic weeks for both of us, we finally got ourselves together and decided on our first date, which was at Chameleon in Northside (Cincinnati). After that, we eventually had a “kiddie pool” date in the backyard, some movie dates at the house, Thai food dinner.. We started dating officially about a month after we met, but we’ve been pretty much inseparable from the start. I had a ring by April of 2024, and proposed on June 5th after that. Erin proposed back to me on September 14th as well. After taking our first trip together in November of 2024, we decided to get married at the courthouse on January 17th, 2025. And the rest is history! We can’t wait to finally have the chance to celebrate with our families and friends.

Things To Do
MadTree Brewing
Awesome beer, huge space, kid-friendly, large outdoor patio (tented/heated in the winter)! We had a small wedding party here after our courthouse wedding, and it was lovely.
Arcade Legacy (Sharonville)
Bar-arcade, kid-friendly(!). Lots of old and new games, from console to cabinets, and pinball! Used game store out front as well. $5 for one hour, $10 for unlimited time.
Newport Aquarium
Right across the bridge in Newport. Paid parking ($5-10 depending on time spent, I believe). Adult (13+) admission is $25.99-40.99– variable based on buying tickets online and depending on the day. Child discount available. Make sure to check out and touch the stingrays :) You do need to make a reservation online to go, if you don’t have a membership— so it’s better to buy online and do that either way!
FAQs
Question
Where should we park?
Answer
There are a limited number of spots behind the Carnegie— otherwise, it’s street parking only! But there is plenty of room on the street, and the parking is all free. There’s street parking out front, and to the side (outside of the church, which is next door.)
Question
What's for dinner?
Answer
We're having brunch for dinner! It will be buffet style with French Toast and Eggs and Gravy stations. Please let us know on the RSVP if you have any dietary restrictions.
Question
Are the ceremony and reception indoors?
Answer
Yes, we don’t want you to freeze. The ceremony and reception will be held in the same building, so no need for any extra travel plans in between.
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Absolutely. Help us not have to take home so much alcohol! For those who don’t need a little liquid courage to dance, or want alcohol for any reason, there will also be water and soda.
Question
What is California Style?
Answer
This means the ceremony and reception will take place in the same location, with the tables set up when you first arrive. You will be seated at your dinner table during the ceremony. Arrive a little early to grab a cocktail and find your seat to start the night off right!
