We are officially less than 6 months out until our wedding on January 15, 2022! We are so excited to see you all. So much has changed since our original date! We have a second cat, several of our friends have additional babies, vaccines are available, and mullets are apparently a thing again? (Please, only tasteful mullets at the reception preferably for the pictures). With so much changing, including a spring wedding becoming a winter one, we need to update RSVPs!

Hello Again! The exclamation mark may imply more enthusiasm than the author intended. So uh, that next great medical thriller we didn't want to kick off with our wedding? Still happening, worse even then when it started. And the whole government getting stern thing? As of today, roughly half the guest list wouldn't be allowed in Chicago without quarantining for two weeks on arrival. So either we host the worst season of Real World/Big Brother/etc. ever from our family lockdown hotel, or we do the responsible thing and postpone again. Trust us, we want nothing more than to celebrate with you all, but that means waiting until it is safe to do so. We have tentatively arranged for a new date of 3/27/2021, but we advise you hold off on making any travel arrangements until things look more certain. For now, I guess Save the Date? Yeah, we're back to the Save the Date stage. Stay safe out there, Kelson and Nancy -- Hello Friends and Family, With great regret we must inform you all that our wedding will need to be delayed. You may have heard, but a tiny little bundle of self replicating malice is turning the world upside down. We love you all, and would feel terrible if our reception became the prologue sequence for the next great medical thriller. Also, the government is going to start looking sternly at groups of more than 10. In all seriousness, we thank you all for being understanding in this frustrating time. We want nothing more than to celebrate with all of you. We are working with our venue and vendors to arrange an alternate date later in the year, and we hope you all will be able to join us tentatively on Friday, September 4, 2020. We understand in advance if any of you can't make it work. More info hopefully coming soon.

In 2015, Kelson and I met through the Hartford 20s and 30s MeetUp Group. We had a lot of great adventures like singing karaoke at Butterfly Chinese Restaurant, happy hour at Tisane's, random trips to the beach, and Jazz in the park. The first time that we hung out together, we went on a hike that was supposed to last an hour and ended lasting almost 3 hours. On our way back, we were trapped in traffic for 4 hours, and we ended up becoming fast friends after that experience. Over the next year, we binge watched an entire season of Avatar, the Last Airbender together and even traveled to Australia and New Zealand to see Hobbiton, the Glow Worms, and the Opera House in Sydney. We realized that we brought each other a lot of joy, and we ended up dating shortly after. We met each other's family and friends, and we road-tripped across the country with our favorite buddy Chester (the cat). We've spent the last few years moving from Connecticut to Florida and then D.C. We've made new friends, picked up new hobbies, and learned more about ourselves. During that time, Kelson and I proposed to each other, and we have grown closer every day leading up to the wedding. Life has taken us on some wild journeys, and we've seen the world in the last few years. Now, we hope that our world can come together to meet one another at our wedding!
