We’re getting married—and we’re so glad you’re here! Our special day will take place outdoors at a beautiful, elegant barn, with both the ceremony and reception held in the same stunning location. Guests can look forward to an open bar, plenty of delicious food, and a night full of love and celebration. To keep the evening relaxed and enjoyable, this will be an adults-only event (18+).
Formal invitations with all the details will be sent out soon—we can’t wait to share this special day with you!
We are fortunate to already have a home full of the things we love, so rather than a traditional registry, we've set up a honeymoon fund. Any contributions will go directly toward our post-wedding adventure in Hawaii and are deeply appreciated.

We're embracing a semi-formal, garden-party chic dress code — think polished, stylish, and comfortable for a beautiful outdoor summer evening. Dresses, skirts, dress pants, blouses, button-downs, and sport coats are all wonderful choices. Lightweight fabrics and breathable layers are highly encouraged for the late-summer warmth. We kindly ask that guests avoid jeans, shorts, sweatpants, athletic wear, and overly casual t-shirts. Our ceremony will be held on a grassy field, so we recommend block heels, wedges, or flat sandals over stilettos — your feet will thank you! Feel free to incorporate a touch of purple or rustic western-inspired accessories, including cowboy hats and boots, to complement our wedding aesthetic.
Our story began 25 years ago in high school with a simple connection that neither of us could have predicted would come full circle. We were young when we first crossed paths and even shared a brief time together before life took us in different directions. Though we went our separate ways, we would occasionally check in with one another, never knowing what the future still had in store.
Then, 3 years ago, everything changed with one unexpected message. After my dad passed away, he left me and my sister his beloved '78 Trans Am. When it came time to decide what to do with it, I reached out to the only “car guy” I knew—Jason. One simple message on Messenger opened the door to conversations that felt familiar, easy, and full of possibility.
From that moment on, it didn’t take long to realize that what we had all those years ago had never truly faded—it was just waiting for the right time to bloom again. What started as an old friendship quickly turned into something deeper, stronger, and forever.
And now, after all these years, all these paths, and one unexpected message, our story has led us here—ready to begin the next chapter together.
If you are Traveling in from out of state, here are a few hotels that are nearby that we recommend. We do not have a room block at any of them, most of our guests are local but, we do have a few of you traveling from afar. If you would like to find your own hotel, i recommend booking something around M-59 (Hall Rd) and M-53 (Vandyke Freeway). It is a very busy shopping area with lots of restaurants and plenty of hotels. None of these places are easily accessible by public transportation, you will need a car rental.
