Our Wedding

Amanda &amp; Jacob were introduced by Jacob's sister-in-law, Grace Sell, and Amanda's friend (&amp; Grace's sister), Liz Thiede. After a couple weeks of getting to know each other, Jacob &amp; Amanda went on their first date to Antojitos Mexicanos in Appleton on January 18th, 2023. While expressing their life goals and love for Adam Sandler movies and 60's music, they decided to continue the date at Player 2, an arcade bar downtown. Their love story full of tacos, tequila, and competitiveness continues to this day.

The First Date

What Amanda expected to be a couples photo session to get professional pictures for decorating the house was actually an engagement session! Jacob proposed to Amanda on the shores of Lake Michigan in Sheboygan, WI (specifically at Kohler-Andrae State Park).

Q + A

After the ceremony, we recommend driving a route less-traveled to avoid a busy highway 41. You can use your GPS to route through Menasha, Neenah, and along the Lake Winnebago shoreline to arrive in Oshkosh.

For your convenience, the bride & groom have reserved a block of rooms at each hotel listed below. If you plan to stay at a hotel, please book a room well in advance.

You must book a room with this block by May 27th to receive discounted price. This hotel is only 0.5 miles from The Gibson Social Club (a 10 minute walk).
