Our Wedding

Years full of unforgettable experiences have passed since we first met at Midway Marina, where our journey together began. Together, we have enjoyed everyday life adventures with our kids, spontaneous sailing excursions, and idyllic summer vacations with family. Our adventures took us to different corners of the world, deepening our understanding of each other and strengthening our love. With each new experience, we felt more connected. On one beautiful, brisk February afternoon, on a heart-shaped rock at Hinckley Ledges, Stephen decided to take our relationship to a new level. This moment became another milestone in our journey together. We are now thrilled to invite you to share another significant moment with us. On Saturday, September 26th, 2026, we will say our "I DOs." Join us in celebrating our love, friendship, and future together. We look forward to seeing you and sharing this unforgettable day.

The 15 Best Places to Buy a Suit

We invite guests to dress in polished, comfortable attire suited to a lakeside late‑September celebration in Port Clinton. Think lightweight, breathable fabrics: linen suits or unstructured blazers for men; sundresses, midis, or tailored jumpsuits for women. Choose colors that complement our dusty‑blue beach palette—soft neutrals, warm pastels, muted blues, or sandy tones. Footwear: dressy sandals, espadrilles, or low wedges work best for sand and boardwalk surfaces; please avoid high, thin stilettos. Outerwear: bring a light wrap, linen blazer, or cardigan for cooler evening breezes on the water. Please keep attire respectful of the ceremony setting. If you have questions about accessibility, textures, or weather, contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
