The story of how, “wanna grab drinks at Stadium View?” turned into “let’s have our wedding at Stadium View!”

Tyler and Lauren's relationship began in early 2021, and while their meeting may not have been a romantic story, it was undoubtedly a "perfect match". The saying when you know, you know, fits the couple perfectly, as they quickly became inseparable. In fact, Tyler told Lauren that she would be his wife just four days after meeting her (photo proof available upon request). From their first dates at Stadium View to introducing each other to their friends and families, there was never a doubt this relationship would last. Lauren quickly became accustomed to Tyler's world, which includes participating in sand volleyball leagues, Friday night Gambler games, and constant streaming of NFL and NHL games. However, Tyler also adapted to Lauren's lifestyle, which included bi-weekly dinner dates at Margarita's, plenty of friend gatherings, summer bonfire nights, home renovations, and more.

A friend of Tyler's had season tickets for the White Sox and offered them up for a game in September 2022. Tyler knew Lauren had never been to Chicago, so he decided this would be the perfect opportunity for a big suprise. Lauren was excited and quickly began planning a packed weekend of shopping, sightseeing, and a special restaurant date night for the two of them. However, she had no idea that her life was about to change. During their first day strolling around Navy Pier on the chilly morning of September 24, Tyler found the perfect spot. The conversation that followed was a blur, as Tyler could barely ask the question. Fortunately, a hired photographer was able to capture the moment after Lauren tearfully said "Yes!"

We are SO excited to celebrate our marriage and have each of you there with us. We knew from the start that we were each other's person and couldn’t imagine a life without the other in it. We hope you will be able to join us on our wedding day to enjoy wonderful speeches, good food, dance floor moves, and classic Stadium View drinks we shared so long ago for the first time. With all our love, L & T
