COVID-19 & How It Is Affecting Our Big Day

Due to COVID-19, we had to postpone our wedding from May 23rd, 2020 to May 22, 2021. At this time last year, we were hoping that a year of postponing our wedding would lead us to our dream day. Unfortunately, life threw us a few more curve balls. Because of COVID-19 and the restrictions on gatherings, we were asked to significantly cut down our wedding guest list. We have finalized our guest list based on the restrictions that were given to us. We sincerely wish we could have invited everyone, but we appreciate your understanding as we maneuver through these difficult times. We wanted to reach out to let you all know how much each and every one of you mean to us. We wouldn't be where we are today without you! Please feel free to join us for our ceremony at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church at 2PM on Saturday May 22, 2021. LOVE YOU ALL!

How We Met...

Chris and Staci first met in High School, sitting next to each other in Biology. They started talking, had some mutual friends and continued to be JUST FRIENDS...for the next four years. Chris asked Staci to prom senior year just as friends. They graduated high school, had a full summer of memories, then left for college. Chris attended Butler University in Indiana and Staci attended University of Illinios at Urbana-Champaign. 119 miles separated the "friendship" they had...until September 25th, 2009 when that friendship turned into a relationship... the rest is history...

The Proposal

#finally

Every year Chris's family drives to Door County, Wisconsin for an unforgettable ten day vacation. July 2013 was the first year Staci experienced everything that Door County had to offer, but it wasn't until July 2018 when she considered it her favorite place - her happy place. It was a Friday afternoon and Chris made plans to eat dinner at the beach and head to a bar with the family to meet more relatives that were driving in that night. It started storming as everyone was getting ready for the night. The boys were in the gazebo waiting out the storm, while the girls were in the house contemplating when to head to the beach/gazebo without getting rained on. The rain let up and a rainbow appeared - it was GORGEOUS … so naturally we should take a "kid pic" on the pier... A few group photos were taken and then specifically one of Chris and Staci. Chris backed up out of the picture, got down on one knee and popped the question... "Here, I have something for you...Do you want it?" Staci laughed, of course she wanted the ring...but also said yes to spending the rest of her life with Chris.

Thank You...

We just want to say THANK YOU to all of you, for all the love and continued support we've had throughout the past decade. It means the world to us to be able to have our friends and family here with us on our wedding day. We are so blessed to have you in our lives and cannot wait to celebrate with you!
