Our Wedding

While both living in Portland, Oregon, we first crossed paths the Spring of 2018. Bonding over our origins in Wisconsin and after our second date of morel hunting, it became clear to the both of us that this was a special connection. Fast forward several months later the call to the motherland grew; we decided to move back to Wisconsin to start a life together. Packing our two kitties in the car, we moved across the country together to be closer to our families and our future forever home. Following two years hunkered down in an apartment during the pandemic, we purchased our first home in Madison during the summer of 2022. Our love has continued to grow as we have nurtured our new house and grew it into a home. And here we are today, ready to celebrate this love with friends and family this fall.

See the link below for the exact location. <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Wildwood+Barn+%26+Cottage/@43.2263415,-88.9920839,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x880689df94f6beb5:0x8b534fb06b2d80d7!8m2!3d43.2263415!4d-88.989509!16s%2Fg%2F11frqtnxy1?entry=ttu" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wildwood Barn and Cottage</a> We're grateful to have guests from all over, and some of you are traveling from far away to attend, and we'd like say thank you! We also know it's not easy to travel and understand if you can't make it! Unfortunately, due to the Iron Man Triathlon occurring in town the same weekend, we have been unable to reserve a block of rooms at a hotel (trust me, we tried!) Waterloo, WI is roughly 30 minutes north east of Madison and about an hour from Milwaukee. Columbus, Beaver Dam, Lake Mills, Cottage Grove, Sun Prairie, Marshall, Watertown and Sun Praire are all towns within 30 minutes of Waterloo and have a variety of places to stay. Also, we encourage looking on Air B&amp;B and VRBO for places in the area, especially if staying in a group. Lastly, there is a Dodge County park campground, Astico Park, which is around 7 miles north of the venue, for any guests who are looking to camp or hook up an RV. <a href="https://www.co.dodge.wi.gov/departments/departments-e-m/land-resources-and-parks/parks-and-trails/astico-park" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Astico Park</a> Once again, we apologize for not being able to have a block of room available, but we encourage you all to explore some great places around the Madison area.
