COVID-19 Protocols

We're requiring all attendees be fully vaccinated (including 2-week post vaccine incubation). This includes children above the age of 12. Since children under the age of 12 are not eligible to receive the Covid vaccine, we unfortunately are not inviting children under the age of 12 to the wedding. The bride and groom will not be wearing masks but guests are more than welcome to wear masks. The venue is an indoor event room and 6ft social distancing will be difficult. We'll provide wrist bands to let guests know what your personal preference are - (1) no contact (2) elbows-only (3) you can dance right up on me. If you have any questions please reach out to John Bachmann; 513.382.4620

How We Met

Big thanks to Capital One

We met at work and distinctly remember the moment we first saw the other one. I saw John a couple desks away and immediately texted Louisa claiming to have found "Mr. Perfect". John claims we walked by one another and I smiled at him. Fast forward a month, a couple of "coincidental" meetings later and we went on our first date in Georgetown, DC.

The Proposal

Ashley already suspected I was tryna marry her since, you know, we'd set a date and booked a venue for the wedding, so I had to make the proposal at least a surprise. I got some help from the guy at the ring store to make her think the ring wasn't coming for a few weeks and then enlisted her family's help to pull off the surprise. She picked me up from the airport (returning from a bachelor party, ironically) and we headed to her grandmother's house for a casual lunch. When she walked in, her family and Louisa were all there waiting and I got down on one knee to ask her to marry me! Thankfully she said yes, and here we are!!!!
