Wedding Reception

Our Wedding

We first met on 12/31/2015 at a New Year’s Eve dance with the Catholic Young Adult Ministry (YAM) of the Northwest Suburbs of IL. During the dance, we had an instructor teach us some ballroom dancing. We made it Facebook official in November 2019 and have been dancing since then!
