Hello, everyone! We cannot be more excited to celebrate with you today! I just wanted to write a quick note to give you all the lowdown of what to expect.

Look for the parking attendants to direct you. Please bring a mask and anticipate wearing it while you are waiting to be seated. Once you are in your chair, you can take the mask off. The Ceremony will begin at 3:00pm. My brothers, Nick and Walter, will be helping you to set up a "pod" of chairs for you and your group once you arrive at the Ceremony. Please come early and plan to be seated by 3:00pm. The Cocktail Hour will be immediately after the Ceremony. Drinks and food will be available. Plan to wear your mask when you are waiting in line for the Bar or getting food at the Food Tent. Feel free to bring a picnic blanket or a lawn chair to spread out!

It is crazy that in just FOUR WEEKS, we're getting married! We could not be more excited. We wanted to take a second to let you know what we are doing to keep each of you safe. Please read both this message, and the "Coronavirus Update" below. You can also go to the "Schedule" page on this site to see times and locations for each portion of our wedding. In order to abide by current guidelines, we have divided our celebration into two parts. Our family and bridal party have been invited to attend the ceremony in-person. Seats will be appropriately spaced to allow extra room between guests. Bring a mask with you and be prepared to wear it whenever it is not possible to maintain a six foot distance between you and other guests. Friends are invited to watch the ceremony live from home through this website. You can access the live stream by going to the "Schedule" page on this site and clicking the "Go to Virtual Event" button. After the ceremony, family and the bridal party are welcome to stay for appetizers, desserts, and a cocktail hour. Socially distant seating will be available. At 6:30pm the second portion of our celebration will begin. Friends are invited to join us at the venue for an After Party. A buffet style dinner and desserts will be available throughout the evening. There will be plenty of seating so that guests can spread out and eat. If you would like to bring a picnic blanket, feel free! All food will be served by wait staff who will be gloved and masked. All dishes, cups, and flatware will be disposable. There will be extra staff to help clean around the venue and the bathrooms. Many of you should have received your invitations by now! When RSVPing, indicate how many of your party will be attending the portions of the event that are available to you (even the virtual part). Our goal is that you feel safe so that you can enjoy celebrating our marriage with us. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. See you soon!
Hi, everyone! We cannot believe that the wedding is happening so soon! We're excited!! Because of Coronavirus, we have had to make some very difficult decisions about how the day will look. We still want everyone to be a part of the ceremony and celebration in some way! Our priority is for everyone to feel safe, loved, and respected. In light of this, you will be receiving an invitation for either an in-person or virtual wedding ceremony, as well as options for in person celebration. For those of you joining us online: We are still working a few of the kinks out. But, we think that the link will be available right here on our wedding site. You'll log on, watch from home, and then have the option of joining us later that evening for an "after party" consisting of a casual dinner, music, and campfires. More details coming soon!! For those that will be joining us in-person: Please bring a mask to the ceremony. Socially distant seating will be available, or if you'd like to bring a picnic blanket, that's fine too! After the ceremony, you're invited to stay for a cocktail hour, pictures, music, the whole shabang! Ultimately, please know that we love all of you so much!

We met the old fashioned way (sort of). My mom had contacted Paul about getting some firewood a few winters ago. She realized that she knew his family, asked him if he was single, and, when he said he was, gave him my number. About a year after this we met at the field where Paul keeps his cows, he asked me out to dinner, and the rest is history!
