Question

Why did they choose Belle Isle in Detroit, MI for the ceremony?

Answer

Julia's parents, Karen and Steve, are from Dearborn, MI just outside of Detroit and her grandmother, Sylvia, still resides there. Since both Julia and Daniel's families reside across six states, they decided to gather in a centralized location that would be convenient and sentimental. Additionally, the James Scott Memorial Fountain on Belle Isle is gorgeous with the Detroit skyline as a backdrop for the ceremony.

Why did they pick May 4th?

Answer

May the 4th (Force) be with you! Both Daniel and Julia's families share a love of Star Wars, but the date was chosen because it is the weekend before Julia's grandmother Sylvia's 90th birthday and Daniel's father Mark's 74th birthday.
