Our Wedding

I would like to thank Hinge and Marisa Gibson for getting us to where we are today. Brandon will say I ignored his first message, but I dont think he knows what he is talking about. After some courage from Marisa, I swiped right and we had our first date a couple weeks later at what has now become our favorite sports bar and the rest is history. The past 2.5 years has taken us on many trips, lots of sporting events and many new restaurants and breweries. Brandon will say his favorite thing though, was adding our fur dude, Cove to our family :) We cant wait to have him in our wedding! We are so excited to celebrate our big day with everybody!

Q + A

We have a room block at the downtown AC Marriott for our guests. Make sure to CALL for the room block rate. It is filling up quickly. We have the block for the night before the wedding and after. I encourage you to BOOK as soon as you can as there is another wedding that also has a block at the hotel. The room block ends on July 24th. If you are staying at the hotel, the shuttle will run to Willow on Grand as part of the block. Just call the front desk to pick you up or have them take you to Willow on Grand. If visiting from out of town, make sure to check the rooftop bar and restaurant on top of the hotel!
