Our Wedding

Like all great modern love stories, ours began with a swipe. Nate thought Erin and her giant floof of a dog were absolutely adorable, and Erin figured a cute guy holding a guitar in his profile was probably worth a shot. We matched on Hinge, exchanged a few messages, and decided to meet for a casual first date. Simple enough… right? Well, not quite. Erin was&nbsp;two hours&nbsp;late (blame work, not her heart), and kept texting Nate updates, half-expecting him to cancel or assume he was being stood up. But Nate waited patiently. When Erin&nbsp;finally&nbsp;got in an Uber, she accidentally went to the wrong bar (Graystone Tavern instead of Brownstone Tavern). A very sweet older driver told her, “If he’s still waiting after all this… he must be something special.” She agreed. And when she finally arrived frazzled, flustered, and smiling they had their first date, and haven’t stopped falling in love since. From there, our love grew through so many shared adventures: training our beloved pup Ford (who trained us more than we trained him), cheering for Nate’s band Zorila, fostering rescue puppies, moving in together, and adopting our sweet girl Lola. We’ve spent summers in Colorado, danced through music festivals, and built a home filled with laughter, music, and slightly too many dog toys. Nate proposed on a perfect day at the Morton Arboretum after a long hike and lots of smiles. He gave Erin a custom heirloom ring, designed with diamonds from both of her grandmothers and a new diamond in the center symbolizing the love we’ve built together. Now, we’re so excited to celebrate the next chapter with all of you our favorite people. Thanks for being part of our story. We can’t wait to dance the night away with you!

All great love stories begin with a 2 hour delay right?
