Our Wedding

June Update:All information we have been given up to this point tells us that Kaitlyn will be back in time and everything will proceed as planned. We can't wait to see you all in a few months! April Update:First and foremost, we want to make it very clear that the last thing we want to do is move/reschedule our wedding date, and we are not incredibly worried about having to do so, but it is a possibility. As some of you may know, Kaitlyn has been called to work outside of the country due to reasons beyond our control. Every effort was made for her to remain in the US in order to prepare for our wedding, but in the end, it was not a possibility. We are planning on keeping our wedding date as September 5, 2026, however, the needs of Kaitlyn's current assignment have a small potential to outlast this date, thus resulting in having to reschedule to next year. We wanted to be as transparent as possible to everyone who is planning to join us to celebrate, as we are aware that many of you are traveling a good distance to be with us on our day. With this being said, we want to suggest that anything you may have to book for your trip be a refundable option, just in case we have to reschedule. As a heads up, if a new date is necessary, we are looking at a weekend in May of 2027, but as we stated before, rescheduling is the last thing we want to do. We will likely not know more information until at least June, but we will update this page with news as soon as we receive it, and if anything more urgent comes up, we will send out a text message with that information. We hope to see you all on September 5th!

PLEASE READ

Kaitlyn and Andrew’s story has a couple of different versions—depending on who you ask. Andrew will happily tell you they met at a highly competitive pickle-eating contest, where sparks flew over shared determination and questionable amounts of brine. While that version may or may not be entirely accurate, they did in fact meet through a swipe in September 2022, and what started as a simple match quickly turned into something much more.In December 2024, Andrew proposed, and Kaitlyn said yes, officially turning their story into a forever kind of thing. Now, they’re excitedly planning their wedding for this September and can’t wait to celebrate with their favorite people. Built on laughter, love, pickles, and a mutual disdain for a select few Canadian hockey teams, their relationship is one they are so very proud of.

Wedding Party

Garden party attire is light, elegant, and effortlessly polished—perfect for an outdoor September celebration. Guests are encouraged to wear soft, breathable fabrics in seasonal colors or floral prints. Think flowy dresses, dressy tops, or skirts for women, and button-down shirts, slacks, or lightweight suits for men. Heels, wedges, dressy flats, or loafers all work well, especially for walking on grass.

Q + A

FlyingThe Double J Farm is located equidistant to Asheville and Charlotte. Plenty of flights are available to and from both. Asheville airport (AVL) is smaller, nicer and more convenient, but the flights are typically more expensive and you'll often need a connection to get to it. Charlotte airport (CLT) is larger and less convenient, but flights are usually direct and cheaper. Just a heads up: don't count on Uber or Lyft when in the area, you'll likely find service to either be very slow or completely unavailable. We recommend renting a vehicle for this reason. DrivingThere are two main driving routes from SE Michigan to NC.Southeast on 23 through Columbus and West Virginia is the quickest option with some beautiful mountain driving. South on 75 through Ohio and Kentucky to I40 East is a bit longer but is simpler and has more amenities along the way. From the greater Toronto area, head east through Buffalo, west along I90 to I79 South, and beyond. LodgingThe Double J Farm is located in between Lenoir, Hickory, and Morganton, NC. All three cities have many hotels, Airbnbs, and VRBO's. We do not have a hotel block reserved. Each city has a cute downtown and many bars and restaurants. Hickory is the largest of the three, but also the furthest from the venue at approx 30 minutes. Morganton is the closest town at 20 minutes. Lenoir is about 25 minutes away, and has the fewest dining options, but it's the closest to the mountains if you want to venture up into the Blue Ridge Mountains. Of course, you can always stay in Asheville or Charlotte, which both have countless attractions, but plan for a little over an hour drive to the venue.

Travel

AshevilleAsheville is a beautiful city tucked into the mountains. There are too many restaurants and shops to count! The most unique attraction there is the Biltmore Estate, the largest private residence in the US at 180,000 sq ft. The Biltmore offers a comprehensive tour and we highly recommend it as it is a magnificent building with beautiful views on a massive, manicured property. Plan to spend about half a day if you do the tour and enjoy lunch there. Blowing RockBlowing Rock is an adorable little town located up in the mountains north of Lenoir. It has many cute stores, small restaurants, and amazing fall colors. It's a great way to spend an afternoon and the drive up the mountain is easy and enjoyable. Blue Ridge ParkwayOne of the most beautiful drives in the country, the Blue Ridge Parkway can be easily accessed in Asheville or Blowing Rock and can take you as far as you want! This scenic mountain road offers incredible views, especially in the fall. It's full of twists and turns, and winds through many small towns. CharlotteCharlotte is one of the fastest growing cities in the USA and has a ton of energy. Museums, galleries, parks, bars, and restaurants are everywhere and the weather in September should be beautiful. Pisgah National ForestThe Pisgah National Forest is a land of mile-high peaks, cascading waterfalls, and heavily forested slopes. Comprised of over 500,000 acres, the Pisgah is host to whitewater rivers, flowing waterfalls and hundreds of miles of trails. Hikers and mountain bikers could spend many days here and not even crack the surface!
