our story

How it began

We connected through friends who were convinced we should meet. Justin joined the whole group out on the lake for the Fourth of July, and the two of us were eager to get to know each other right away. A lunch date followed soon after, and the rest is history.

We've grown into best friends and love the life and family we've built with our two pups. When Justin got down on one knee, it was our happiest moment yet.

2022The Fourth of July we met, on Lake Orion.
2023Our first big trip together: Colorado, for hiking and a concert at Red Rocks.
2025The proposal high above Palm Springs, with a tram ride up and the question at an overlook.

Questions & answers

Formal, garden-elegant: long dresses and suits. Much of the evening is outdoors and on grass, so ladies, we recommend block heels or flats for your comfort. Bring a wrap for the cooler evening air, too.

Dinner is served buffet style, with options for a range of dietary preferences and allergies. Let us know of anything we should account for when you RSVP.

Offsite parking is required, with a complimentary shuttle to the venue, or catch the shuttle from the Residence Inn. See the Parking & Shuttle section for maps and times.
