Our Wedding

Tyler and Kellen met their first weekend of college while at a Young Life weekend retreat. Tyler: *holds up cell phone pointing at text message* My friend told me I have to meet someone named Kellen! Is that anyone?Kellen: Hey, that's me! Let's be friends!And the rest was history...Well, not exactly. They became best friends within a super tight knit group YLers at UW-Madison and spent the semesters walking to church every Sunday, enjoying meals at GoCo (the dining hall between their two dorm rooms), and being weirdos (it should be mentioned that Twall was an important part of this trio and was always present). There came a fateful semester where Tyler was studying abroad in Paris and during this time him and Kellen talked ALL the time, despite the 8 hour time difference. After he was finally back in the US, had told her close friends he wanted to date her, and even tried to take her on a secret trial run breakfast date, he finally admitted his feelings to her. *awww*Then began a few months where Tyler proved to be the most patient man on earth. Kellen denied his attempts to make things official until she was 1,000 miles away for 3 months (convenient right?) and she caved into the "McSweeney Charm" on June 10, 2014. And alas, they began their journey as a couple and THEN, the rest was history.Now they've been long distance since June 2015 with Tyler living in Chicago and Kellen still in Madison. They are so excited to finally be in the same place and living life together.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sycamore

If you are flying in for the wedding, you will want to look at either <a href="http://www.flychicago.com/ohare/home/pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">O'Hare International Airport</a> or <a href="http://www.flychicago.com/midway/home/pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">Midway International Airport</a>. If you plan on renting a car, both airports offer many options for car rentals that you can find online.If you'd like to avoid renting a car, there are a few options that will just take you a bit longer to travel. There is always an uber or cab, though it would be a bit of a trek. There is also a train. Unfortunately there is no train from Chicago all the way to Sycamore. The closest you can get by train is to Elburn, IL which is about 25 minutes from Sycamore - a much shorter uber or cab ride than from the airport. You'd go in route to take the <a href="https://metrarail.com/maps-schedules/train-lines/UP-W" target="_blank">Union Pacific West train to Elburn</a>.
