Travel Note
Reid and I encourage everyone to book hotel accommodation at your earliest convenience. The University of Illinois plays Penn State at home on our wedding weekend. While we love dedicated football fans (Go Browns), this means hotel rooms have already been booked months in advance. You may encounter unusually high rates or limited vacancies.
