Reception

Our Wedding

We met in November 2019 as many couples meet nowadays- the internet! Hinge to be exact. We discussed our favorite watering holes in Columbus, OH, which is where we live. We realized we liked a lot of the same places. When we decided to meet at one, neither of us was expecting much or was ready for anything serious. But as they say, it was love at first sight! We bonded over our love of Chris Farley movies and Zombieland. We both agree that we’ve truly never laughed so hard, and we frequently speak in our own language of movie quotes. Then, things got more serious once Poppy was introduced. Poppy, aka “Critter” is Nate’s 8-but-going-on-18-year-old daughter. After dating for 6 months and many discussions, I finally met her. There was no turning back then. I was in love with both of them! Flash forward a couple years, and we all live happily (and maybe chaotically) together in Clintonville, with our dog Romeo! We have “Pizza Friday Movie Night” every week and we are the “silliest parents in the neighborhood”, according to Critter. We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone! Get ready to party!!

Things To Do

Akron is a cool city! I recommend checking out some local farm markets, like Szalay’s or Graf’s Garden Shop, since it will be in the middle of summer. The Highland Theater in Highland Square is a historical movie theater, in case you want to beat the heat. I also would recommend checking out one of my favorite art studios and galleries, Don Drumm Studios. There are more galleries, shops, and dining options in downtown Akron at the Northside Marketplace as well. There’s great hiking in the metro parks, and the towpath runs through the area for anyone wanting to bring their bike along- just don’t break your wrist! 😬 Highland Theater - https://highlandsquaretheatre.com/ Don Drumm- https://www.dondrummstudios.com/ Northside Marketplace- https://www.northsidemarketplace.com Metro Parks- https://www.summitmetroparks.org/ https://www.ohioanderiecanalway.com/explore/the-towpath-trail/
