Reception

Our Wedding

Kris and I met in July of 2012. I came out to Carmel, IN to visit my best friend, Kaite, who had just moved to the area with her fiancé, Bryce. Kris, who was a high school buddy of Bryce's, also came to Carmel that weekend to celebrate his birthday. Little did we know that our friends had a hunch that if they ever got us in the same place at the same time, we'd hit it off. And sure enough, they were right! There was one slight problem though: I had just moved to Columbus, OH to start my first teaching job, and Kris was very much rooted in Indianapolis due to his work and family. Therefore, we agreed to give long distance a try.Two years, thousands of miles, and more hours in the car than either of us care to count later, I agreed to move to Indianapolis after accepting a new job.

How We Met 

On the morning (literally, it was still dark outside) of January 18, 2015, Kris popped the question. He put the ring on our puppy, Cyrus's, collar for me to find, and of course, I was thrilled to say yes!

Travel

In addition to the banquet hall where the reception will take place, there is also The Wine Room, Circle L Steakhouse, and The Galaxy Sports Bar and Patio on site. Feel free to head over during the 2 hour gap between the ceremony and reception, or swing by after the reception to keep the party going!

Great place for that last minute mani, pedi, facial, or any other spa service you want! Feel free to check it out if you are coming in Friday, or even if you want to pamper yourself the day of. Reservations are preferred.

Reflections Hair Studio & Spa

While I'm personally not a golfer, I've heard good things about this course. Located just outside of Medina, this could be a good option for those arriving early on Friday or if you want to get a quick round of golf in Saturday morning, weather permitting, of course. Please note that there are a number of other public courses in the area.
