The Wedding Party

Registry

Hey everyone, I know quite a few people will be traveling from out of town, us included, so we wanted to share some fun things around the Bloomington - Normal area to do for anyone staying for a couple of days. The Miller Park Zoo, Grady’s Family Fun Park and The Children’s Discovery Museum are great places to take the kiddos and to enjoy the day with the family. Since spooky season will be happening around the time of our wedding, several haunted houses in the area will be open, included Mindtrap Haunted Attraction and Downs Haunted House! Rader Family Farm is a personal favorite of mine for anyone looking to pick up some pumpkins, snacks or to just hit up the corn maze!

Things to Do

Instead of a sit-down dinner, we opted for an appetizer selection that will include: Queso Fundido and Nacho Chips; Seasonal Fruit with Cheesecake Dip; Bavarian Pretzel Bites with Jalapeño Beer Cheese; Beer Braised Brats; Garlic &amp; Herb Cheese Curds; Pork &amp; Applewood Smoked Meatballs; Steak Skewers; Parmesan Baked Mac &amp; Cheese Desserts will be provided by Pollen and Pastry and will include Mini Cupcakes: Caramel Apple Pie, Banana Cream Pie, S'mores, Cinnamon Roll and Cookies and Cream; Cookies: Chocolate Chip and Snickerdoodle A cash bar will include beer, wine and spirits along with Complimentary Self-Serve Water, Soda, Tea and Lemonade

Our Story

Kyle and I were on vacation in Texas. We visited San Antonio, Texas for a few days before making our way up to Austin, Texas. We arrived at our Airbnb outside of Austin, which was the cutest place we'd both ever seen. It was in the middle of nowhere, a huge retired hog farm with animals roaming everywhere. Horses right outside our windows and chickens everywhere. Kyle and I spent quite a bit of time on the farm and he knew how much I enjoyed the place. One night, Kyle and I were sitting outside on the swings when he asked if I wanted to go for a walk around the property and see the animals and to look at the stars. We walked around the property for a bit when Kyle said that he loves me very much and can't imagine being anywhere else, with anyone else. Kyle got down on one knee and asked me to spend forever with him. He asked me to marry him and I absolutely said yes! And here we are!
