Our Wedding

We apparently met for the first time our sophomore year of college at a halloween party ... although I guess not that memorable since neither of us remembers the other 🙄 About a year later I ran into Lukas and some guy I hadn't seen before (Ben) in the library and needed to frantically tell someone about my car getting t-boned a few hours prior. Rumor has it after I left Ben asked Lukas to set us up. The meddling worked!

The First Time We Met (2016!)

We Started Dating!

Ben asked me to be his girlfriend over takeout noodles on my hallway room floor (conveniently after I mentioned that all my friends kept asking if we were dating). We are so lucky that we got to have some of our UNC years together! We had the best time, + the heels won some championships along the way (gthd for those who celebrate). Forever a special place for us 🩵

After graduation we both got jobs in Washington, DC! We loved visiting the museums, walking along the national mall, and tasting all the incredible food (shout out Letena). Emphasis on the food scene. Ben was in DC for 6 years (in the same apartment building!) and by the end it felt like another home.

Off to DC!

I had to leave Ben in DC for med school, but luckily Charlottesville was a stellar spot. We were a 2.5 hour $31 amtrak ride apart (we became regulars). Somehow long distance wasn't all that hard!

Virginia is for Lovers

We had some more miscellaneous adventures

July 2023! The day started by Ben sending a stern email to his apartment management company which made us late to our timed entry at the Glenstone Museum. We'd been trying to go to this museum for years and I was so worried we would be too late to enter. Ben was unbothered probably because the museum staff knew what he was up to. He distracted me by pointing out some non-existent frogs in the pond which ended up taking my attention longer than Ben anticipated. When I turned around Ben asked me to marry him! After thinking about it for a really long time I said "sure, why not!" (jk! I have no clue what I said but it was along the lines of yes). Shout out to the master of disguise Blake Ansley who was taking some sneaky pictures in her Edna Mode-esque attire! I walked right by her and had no idea.

Ben Asked an Important Question

Immediately after we went to a baseball game and ate hot dogs

Match day came and went and we were headed back to Pittsburgh (finally)! We fulfilled Ben's dream of getting a cute apartment above a sports bar and expanded our little family with our perfect cat, Cleocatra.

Back to Where it All Began (for kylie)

Woo hoo we can't wait to celebrate with you!

Now we're getting married

PS - Ben said he would edit this but never did so you're left with my unedited musings here

You can also drive/park at Bramblewood!

Airport

For those of y'all flying in the Pittsburgh airport is about 20-minutes from downtown Pittsburgh where we'll be staying and about 15-minutes from the wedding venue at Bramblewood! It's easy to catch an Uber/Lyft or taxi from the airport at pretty much any time. Unfortunately the public transportation here doesn't extend to the airport :(

Pittsburgh International Airport

Some Other Hotel Options

This is a nice, modern hotel located in downtown Pittsburgh! It's fairly close by to the Omni William Penn Hotel and would be a long walk or short Uber to the welcome drinks site on the North Shore / where the shuttles will be leaving from.

Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh

Another nice hotel in downtown Pittsburgh! This is close to the Omni William Penn and would be a short Uber to the brewery for welcome drinks on the North Shore / where the shuttles will be leaving from.

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Pittsburgh Downtown

This hotel is right across the river from the North Shore where the welcome drinks will be held and where the shuttles will leave from on the wedding day - should be an easy-ish walk and a very quick Uber. It's a great location in the cultural district!

Courtyard Pittsburgh Downtown

I put together a list of some Airbnb's around Pittsburgh! I tried to make sure they all had good reviews and should all be in nice areas. Some are very close to the North Shore / downtown area (where the hotel blocks are located) while others are a little bit further away, so keep that in mind when booking! Pittsburgh is pretty easy to get around via Uber so it shouldn't be a problem to have to get a quick ride to events. Some info on the different neighborhoods: -North Shore: this is where 2 of our 3 hotel block are located! The North Shore has all of Pittsburgh's major sports stadiums and plenty of places to eat / drink right nearby. -Downtown Cultural District: there's lots to do in the area, where the Omni hotel is located and a quick walk or Uber to the North Shore. - Strip district: walking distance to the North Shore and downtown, a fun and lively area, walking through here during a visit to Pittsburgh is a must - Lawrenceville: This is where Ben and I live, we love it here! Butler Street has tons of cute boutique shops, antique stores, coffee shops, and restaurants. This is also a pretty lively area. It's about a 5-10 minute drive from the North Shore but not walkable (unless you're down for a 45 minute walk). -Bloomfield: Right next to Lawrenceville, with more great restaurants and shops but a little bit quieter while still being very urban. There's a great farmers market here on Saturday mornings! We love Bloomfield! -Shadyside: A really nice area that is a bit more residential but has several very walkable streets with shopping and great food. This is close-ish to Pitt's campus and there's lots of parks nearby! About a 20 minute drive to the North Shore. -Squirrel Hill: Right by Shadyside! This is even more residential but with some of the best food in the city. -Mt. Washington: Best views overlooking the city! About a 10 minute drive to the North Shore but definitely not walkable (unless you're looking to do some mountain climbing).
