OUR STORY
Seven years ago, on the day of our wedding, we had our very first date at Union 50 in Indy. It’s where we discovered our shared love for exploring new restaurants, savoring unique cuisines, and enjoying delicious cocktails together. Over the years, our passion for travel has taken us to some incredible places, creating unforgettable memories along the way. But above all, it’s the time spent with our friends and family that we truly cherish—those moments have brought us closer and laid a beautiful foundation for our future. We are beyond excited to finally celebrate this special day with each and every one of you, and we can't wait to make more memories together!
