The Big Day!

...there was a goofy guy in jort-eralls and cut-off hawaiian shirt and a girl who did not think a walking boot should discount her from participating in a low ropes course. We had met briefly through work trainings and events at Northwood Children's Services, but worked at different locations. Both of us ended up on an online dating app and the above descriptions are what we remembered of the other so we gave it a shot. We set a coffee date in Canal Park one day in late September 2021. On October 2nd, he asked me to be his girlfriend. A year later, we moved in together. May 18th, 2024- the day before my birthday- TJ proposed to me under a tree, surrounded by about 20 teenage lacrosse players and their parents. Obviously, I said yes! We have been through some incredible challenges and amazing victories, devastating lows and exciting highs. But through it all, we have always known that we were made to be together. That we were written in the stars.

Once upon a time...

Our Story

Photos

Sam has been with me since the awkward, homeschooled, pre-teen years. We used to dream about and pretend that we were in each other’s weddings and I couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her!

Emily and I met during a very difficult time in both our lives. We bonded over our shared experiences and have been there for all the highs and lows for the past 8 years. My ride or die!

Q + A

Hanging Horn Lakeside Resort

There are a limited number of cabins and rooms available at the venue, Hanging Horn. There is not a code for the block, simply call and mention you are attending our wedding that weekend and they will let you know what is still available. We have attached a few other local accommodations as well.
