Our Wedding

We met through a dating app - Hinge. He was NOT my typical dating app find. We barely spoke before he asked me out for coffee and after a series of terrible 1st dates, I figured what the heck, why not, it couldn't be worse than the other ones. I double booked myself that day accidentally, so I had to reschedule, so coffee turned to drinks. I almost cancelled because I was so hectic that day, but I went, barely any makeup and rushed to get there, but I went to The Beetle... Bar and Grill... We had so much fun and our story began... Now I can't imagine life without Bernard...

Nerds do fall in love...

Our Story

Uber and Lyft are easy options for navigating the city. The price will vary depending on distance to destination and any surges happening. Download the app first.

Uber / Lyft Parking SFO

The wedding venue is off of the Division Blue line stop. You can purchase single ride tickets and even pay with apple pay on your phone. Download the app before coming or when you arrive!

Chicago Transit Authority

There is free street parking in the surrounding streets if you know where to look, but it is easiest to pay for street parking on Milwaukee or the surrounding streets.

Travel

We made a google sheets document for anyone wanting information about Chicago area activities and restaurants: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aW_bsOd0-TW0Ej5oSHvzO9fGrmR3b8LCC8uUPAKTyMk/edit?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aW_bsOd0-TW0Ej5oSHvzO9fGrmR3b8LCC8uUPAKTyMk/edit?usp=sharing</a> There are two worksheets on this document one for food and one for activities. Please reach out to the bride and groom if you need any help navigating what to do in Chicago! We would be happy to help you make the most of your time in the city!
