Our Wedding

February, 2020. Simpler times. We had just connected on Hinge, but we had no idea what would come next. Despite finding each other at a truly crazy time for this world, we both knew our connection was strong early, and that this was something worth working for. What started as a quick swipe to the right has gown into a lifelong love, and we couldn’t be happier. From COVID-friendly FaceTime dates, to crossing travel spots off our lists, to committing to each other forever, we’ve experienced a lot in our first years together. And the best is still to come! As our friends and family, those we love and care about the most in this world, we’re so happy you’ll all be able to join us as we make this official. We can’t wait to share all of the big milestones that come after this with each and every one of you! Thank you for being a part of our lives and this beautiful moment.

Let’s take it from the top…

Our Story

One of our first dates! Since we’re both Cubs fans, and Covid didn’t allow for in-person games, Kevin got creative with planning a Cubs themed date.

Hitting the links together

Celebrating a year of dating while on our first trip together (Florida).

We both love traveling, so our next stop was crossing Asheville, NC off our list.

Refining our skills at our favorite hobby at cooking class

2022 was a year of live shows for us!

July 1, 2022- She said Yes to forever!!

To a brother that I’ve always been able to lean on, literally and figuratively. Doesn’t it feel like a few years ago that I’d eagerly wait for you to come home from kindergarten, so I could see your school papers? :) I’m so excited to have you stand by my side!

Nathan Somerset

My partner in crime (for better or worse) on golf trips, cigar nights, casino runs, and too much other fun stuff to list. You and Kim have been our supporters and cheerleaders throughout our relationship. So grateful to have you in my (and now our) life. Hype, hype, hype, hype!

Michael Westfall

Cuz Cuz! Thank goodness I ended up with a female cousin I’m so close to after growing up with a houseful of brothers. :) From sharing Barbies as kids, calming your hypochondriac cuz, to touring the islands of Greece (with our whispers), we’ve made so many great memories together and excited to add this one to the list.

Anna Gardner 

Crazy to think it's been almost 20 years since we first met! I'll never forget how instantly we bonded and quickly we became friends. Your and Meg's families have always been like a second family to me. I'm so glad we've been able to share in so many big moments in each other's lives, including this one!

Jordan Heckard

We may have started off as coworkers, but we’ve grown into best friends. You were my support system through on-call and always the first to laugh at my jokes. It was an honor to stand by you at your wedding, and I’m so happy you’ll be doing the same for me. 

Caitlin Jacek

The Kramer to my Jerry. You started out as my whacky next door neighbor Freshman year, and we've been great friends ever since. I've always been impressed by how much of an interest you take in your friends' lives and how you make it a point to always keep in touch, no matter what's going on.

Jimmy Wozny

I love being your Aunt! While I wish you lived so much closer, we always have such fun on our FaceTime calls. You’re going to be the sweetest Flower Girl! 

Madelaine Somerset

From piggyback rides around the house, to picking apples together, we became buddies so quickly (even if you did call me Calvin for a while) :) I'm so glad you'll be a part of our big day and I'm so excited to be your uncle!

Dine at the site of our first (real) date! Highly recommend!

Some of the best cookies you’ll ever eat. We hear their other baked goods are pretty good, too :)

Levain Bakery - West Loop

A must try for any coffee lovers. The perfect pick me up after a night of celebrating with us.

Sawada Coffee

Fuel up before the big night with one of the best burgers around. Just be prepared for a wait!

Au Cheval

Located in the gorgeous Chicago Atheltic Association Hotel, a great spot for drinks and games (think shuffle board, bocce, etc.). Head up to Cindy’s for beautiful views of Millenuim Park and Lake Michigan.
