Re-Save the date

MAY 15, 2021

The groom

I still remember when I used to say "Nah, I am never going to get married". Well I'm glad to say, now, that I met the most wonderful woman that changed my mind and made me day dream every day of growing old together. And I'm so excited to say that I'm going to marry the love of my life!

Christian

The Bride

I feel so blessed to be marrying the love of my life. I am glad to have found someone I can share everything with, someone who can always make me laugh, and someone who I can always depend on. I can't wait to say "I do" to forever with the man of my dreams. I hope you can join us on our special day.

We are waiting for..... The adventure

Our love story

First met

May 2015

We met starting at the same job on the same day and became fast friends. We both came to the job through circumstances that have proven to us that everything happens for a reason.

First date

April 2018

Our first outing together was car shopping and dinner. Even though we still only considered each other friends, we both felt that something deeper was forming. Since then, we have made many wonderful memories together.

Proposal

July 19, 2019

Chris surprised me with a wonderful proposal on a weekend adventure to Grafton. When we went to dinner, he led me outside, where he had this beautiful display waiting. We loved the location so much, we decided there was no place we would rather say I do! ~Rebecca

Getting there

Note: We expect that these room blocks will still be available for our rescheduled event, but we are still working out some details. Please check back soon!

Accommodations

A room block will be available at Aerie's Resort. We ask that guests staying more than one night attempt to reserve rooms outside of the block first to allow for more one-night rooms for other guests.
