Take a tour through the Eck Visitors' Center (weekdays) or a self-guided tour (details linked on website). You can visit Lauren and Ethan's favorite places on campus, including where they met (Pasquerilla Center) and where they got engaged (the Grotto).

Spend a few hours north of campus in Michigan, picking apples and berries at Lehman's Orchard. Lauren has visited Lehman's several times with family and friends, including women from the ND ROTC program (see above).

There are plenty of local wineries in the Michiana area. We recommend Gateway Cellar Winery and Lehman's Orchard U-Pick and Winery.

If you are looking for a place to party the day before or after the wedding, look no further than Notre Dame's local bars (Newf's, Olf's, Backer).

Lauren's personal favorite is Olf's, and if you visit the Backer, you can find a photo of Ethan and the 2023 Notre Dame Army ROTC Ranger Team on the wall!
