Having both grown up in Chicago's western suburbs and attending the University of Illinois (I-L-L!), it's a wonder we never crossed paths sooner in life. It was only a matter of time until the universe (or, in our case, Hinge!) brought us together. And that's exactly what happened in March 2022! Our story began on a Tuesday night in Lincoln Park at Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba. After hours of talking and laughing over sangria & tapas, we continued our night at one of Lincoln Park's finest establishments; The Marquee Lounge. By the end of our first date, we knew it was the start of something special - and we were right. After countless happy memories made while traveling from coast to coast, trying new restaurants, attending concerts/sporting events, and moving in together, fast forward to October 2023 when Nick proposed to Jenny at Lake Ellyn Park and she said yes! We can't wait to begin this next chapter of our lives together and are excited to celebrate with our families & friends on November 16th!
