Wedding Day

Lakes Park

Ceremony

Reception

Spring

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, now that we’re getting closer and closer to our wedding date, we have come to the realization that some of you have never been to Lakes Park before (what a beautiful place it is). Therefore, we would like to give some instructions on how to even get to our wedding and reception area. Attached above too, is a map of the park where we’ve circled both the amphitheater (wedding) and pavilion number B4, where our reception will be. Verbal directions: 💍 Make a right turn when you first enter the park/follow the sign that points you in the direction to lot 3. After you park, locate one of the parking pay stations. It’ll be $5 for the whole day. 💕After parking, keep on the sidewalk to your right, follow this path down until you get to the amphitheater, located just before the bridge you might see ahead. With the exception of the first seats in every row, pick a seat anywhere, not a side. You’re love by both the groom and bride. 🍾 Following the ceremony is our mocktail hour, which is located in the reception pavilion. After the ceremony, just walk back down the sidewalk path in the direction you came from. The reception pavilion is going to be the first one that you see on your left. You’ll probably already see it on your way over to the amphitheater. Alcohol is prohibited from the park, so this will be a dry wedding.  🦋 The nearest bathrooms are going to be near the train museum/ train station. There is also a park located here. Feel free to take the kiddos during the mocktail hour so they can have some fun! ☺️ Thank you for coming to our TED talk 😂. We look forward to seeing you all soon! 🥰  Hotel recommendations are under the travel tab for out of town guests. *Disclaimer* We have not stayed at any of these hotels. Recommendations are based off of google reviews.

Our Wedding

On a warm, summer’s day back in 2022, Chelsey was out with her family, preparing to enjoy some fun under the sun at the beach with a trip to the grocery store. Meanwhile, Dan was on one of his regular shifts working in that same store. The family had split up, in search of food and snacks to enjoy on the beach. After searching with her mother and grandmother awhile, Chelsey decided to see what her dad had found. To her surprise, there he was, talking to a man with dark hair and hazel eyes. A man she found out to be named Daniel. Chelsey didn’t think much of this meeting though, as she never thought she would see him again. She was wrong. Time went by and news had swarmed Chelsey’s place of work that Dan would be coming back, as he had worked there before working at the grocery store and then one day she met him a second time, but was much too shy to say a word. Time went by and they slowly started to become friends. Unbeknownst to the both of them, feelings had grown for one another. They started staying after work and talking and with each passing day, the feelings grew stronger and stronger and then one day, Dan built up the courage to ask for her number. And some time after that, asked her out on a date. Some time later, they said their first “I love you” and their relationship grew. On January 1st, 2025, on a trip to Disney, Dan got down on one knee, holding a gorgeous rose gold ring and asked Chelsey to marry him. Through teary eyes and a bright smile, Chelsey said yes! On November 28th, 2025, a new chapter begins. We can’t wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds!
