Clara and Timmy’s story began like all the best romances–in class. More specifically, the very romantic setting of a Political Philosophy class at Wheaton College. It was there that the two crossed paths, mostly because Timmy didn’t prepare properly for the midterm or the final and therefore invited himself to sit in on Clara’s studying with a friend. The next fall, they found themselves sitting side by side in Intelligence Studies, where Timmy learned that if he forgot about homework assignments - when they were due or how to complete them - he could simply text the girl he sat next to because she seemed to always be on top of things. In fact, perhaps he could intentionally forget these things so he had an excuse to text her on a daily basis….it didn’t take long for the conversations to drift away from homework. After about a month of persistent texting, Timmy garnered the courage to ask Clara out on a date. He took her on a walk where they had so many fun conversations that, well, he never actually got around to asking the question. The nerves got the better of him. Not to fear, the next day he woke up determined. He caught Clara walking to class and finally asked her out, only to find himself being escorted into the agony of the friend zone. It was there that he was fated to spend the next two months, which he spent painfully climbing his way out–with the faithful help of Tait and Kenji (there’s a reason they’re the best men). He victoriously reached the light at the end of the tunnel right before Thanksgiving, when Clara acknowledged the feelings she’d developed. That was probably the best day of Timmy’s life, and probably the best Thanksgiving too. He had a lot to be thankful for. Two years later, he very secretly bought a ring. He invited Clara on another walk, where they once again had so many fun conversations that, well, don’t worry, he didn’t forget to ask the question this time. And there you have it, the beginning of our story. Spoiler alert, this story has a very important scene on July 25, and we hope you’ll join us to celebrate!

Things to Do

What is the dress code?We have a semi-formal dress code. Men do not need to wear tuxedos. Suits are welcome but not required. For women, both long and short dresses are welcome.

Where should we park?The venue has lots of free parking available. If it fills, there is lots of extra parking right across the street at Judge C. Magney State Park.

What is happening between the ceremony and reception?We have decided to forgo a first look, which means we'll be taking wedding photos after the ceremony. During this time, we will have drinks and snacks available in the solarium. Enjoy your choice of tea, coffee, or an alcoholic beverage. Have active kids that need entertainment? We will have both table games and yard games available (weather permitting).

What is the lodging/accommodations situation?We will be using the rooms at our venue to house as many people as possible at a discounted price, beginning with family and the wedding party. We will reach out to you about that if you are on that list! If your invitation doesn't indicate that you'll be at Naniboujou, then we have a hotel block booked at the Aspen Lodge in Grand Marais, also at a discounted price. Call to claim your room.

Do I have a plus one?Check your invitation! It should indicate how many guests your invitation applies to.

Can my children come?Absolutely. This is a family celebration, and we want you to bring your whole family, kids and babies included. The guest count in your invitation indicates how many meals and seats we have reserved for your party. Small babies won't be included in that number since they don't require a seat, but they are still invited!

When should we RSVP by?We kindly ask that you RSVP by May 15.
