Our Wedding

We met in April 2018. Caitlin was studying abroad in Spain and decided to go to Albufeira in Portugal with some of her classmates. Conor also happened to be going to Albufeira that same weekend for his uncle's bachelor party. The two of us were both at Albuferia 66 one night when we met and began talking. Before Caitlin left, Conor said that they should friend each other on Facebook and typed his name in Caitlin's phone. The next day, Caitlin kept trying to add Conor on Facebook, but was not able to because of his privacy settings. She did find a way to message him though and they made plans to meet up that night. They spent hours on the beach that night talking and getting to know each other. Coincidentally, Caitlin had a trip to Ireland planned about 2 weeks later for a wedding. We met up again during this trip and met each other's families (and Conor saved Caitlin from falling and dying multiple times while climbing Croagh Patrick). On May 13, 2018 Caitlin asked Conor, "What are we?" and we began dating. For the years that followed, there were trips back and forth between the US and Ireland as well as an enormous amount of FaceTime calls (and pizza eaten). Conor came to the US for 3 months from October 2022- January 2023 and proposed on December 29, 2022. We are looking forward to finally closing the distance and continuing our adventures together.

Q + A

The nearest international airport is Chicago O'Hare. There are direct flights from Dublin to O'Hare on Aer Lingus, American Airlines, and United Airlines. O'Hare is about a 2 hour drive from South Bend. South Bend also has a smaller airport that has flights from Chicago O'Hare, Detroit, Dallas, Charlotte, Atlanta, and Minneappolis/St. Paul.

Air Travel

The South Shore Line goes from Millenium Station in Downtown Chicago to the South Bend Airport multiple times a day. There is also an Amtrak route that runs from Chicago Union Station to South Bend.
