Our Wedding

Rewind to October of 2015 at the annual Arbuckle Halloween party - Natalie's mom and Jordan meet at a party, and she plays matchmaker for Natalie and Jordan. Mom says he's a catch, but Natalie doesn't listen (shocker).&nbsp; Fast forward to July 2nd of 2016, we first met at a wedding (shoutout to the Arbuckle family, again!). We were drawn to each other’s sense of humor and eventually connected the dots of Natalie's mom trying to introduce us. Jordan knew Natalie was special after she shared her IUDM fundraising stories that included wearing a hot dog costume at the IU arboretum (photos will be provided upon request). When you know, you know. Right? However, it wasn't our time just yet. Come January of 2017, Natalie was in Chicago interviewing for jobs, and she asked Jordan on a date (Jordan remembers it a bit differently!). We went on our first date the very next day, and the rest was history! We can't wait to spend our lives together as The Stephani's and for you all to join us on our big day!

VACATION FORMAL

What is vacation formal?More elevated than cocktail attire and less dressy than a black-tie affair. When picking out your vacation formal attire think lighter fabrics and brighter colors! For women, it is midi to long dresses. For anyone wearing heels, we recommend wearing block heels. For men, suits with no ties. Feel free to wear your nice sneakers!
