Our Story
Two sides, one love story
Every love story has two sides — here's ours, told the way we each remember it.
Hers
Jennifer
Our story starts at a bags tournament, where a handsome stranger helped me carry the boards out of my car. I was intrigued but didn't officially meet him until a bonfire at his house. I thought he was cute, welcoming, and funny. He even got me to try seafood, but I'm still not fully convinced… With some help from our friends, we started talking and danced the night away!
I realized he was the one when I wanted to spend all my time with him, sharing the simplest parts of our days. Zay leads with a caring attitude, makes the bad days good, and makes the most ordinary day feel special.
When I saw him down on one knee, I felt an overflow of happiness and gratitude to God that He put Zay in my life!

Zaveian
Flash back to that bags tournament: I spotted this cute girl struggling to wrestle her bag set out of her car — and I sprinted over to help. The next weekend, Jen came to a bonfire at my place, and she was laughing at almost everything I said (so cute). Later we all headed to the bars, where her girlfriends kept telling me how amazing Jen is — that she's a teacher, and that I really should dance with her and get to know her. So I did.
Fast forward to Halloween. After months of talking every single day, I knew she was the one when I asked her to dress up as the Minions with me — and without hesitation, she did ().
Jokes aside: I knew Jen was going to be my wife when I realized just how special she is, and how deeply she cares for everyone around her. When I finally asked her to marry me, my head was racing with emotion — every thought a happy one, and all of it pure excitement to spend forever with Jen.
The moment she said yes.

Good to Know
Frequently asked
When should I RSVP by?
Please reply by May 5, 2027, so we can share final counts with our venues. You can RSVP right here on this site.
What's the dress code?
Formal attire — think floor-length gowns and suits or tuxedos. We'll be celebrating into the evening, so dress to feel wonderful and ready for the dance floor.
Are the ceremony and reception in the same place?
No — the ceremony is at St. Michael Church in Wheaton, and the reception follows at St. Andrew's in West Chicago, about a 20-minute drive away.
How do I get from the ceremony to the reception?
If you're staying at our room-block hotel, a shuttle will take you to the ceremony and on to the reception — so you won't need to drive. Otherwise, you're welcome to drive yourself; both venues have parking, and it's about a 20-minute trip between them.
Is there parking at both venues?
Yes — there's parking at St. Michael Church for the ceremony, and St. Andrew's offers overnight parking at the reception, so you're welcome to leave your car and pick it up the next day.
Is there an open bar?
Yes — drinks are on us! Please note the bar will be closed during the hour-and-a-half dinner service, then open again for the rest of the night.
Can I bring a plus-one?
To keep our celebration intimate, we're keeping the guest list by invitation only. Your invitation will list the exact number of seats reserved in your name — if you have any questions, just reach out to us.
Are kids welcome?
KIDS ARE WELCOME — THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN AS STATED ON YOUR INVITATION. THE VENUE REQUIRES CHILDREN TO REMAIN SEATED FOR THE ENTIRE HOUR-AND-A-HALF DINNER SERVICE, FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CHILDREN AND THE STAFF. IF YOUR CHILDREN CANNOT ADHERE TO THESE RULES, WE WILL BE SAD TO MISS THEM, BUT HOPE YOU CAN MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS.
What time should I arrive?
Please be seated at the church by 2:15 PM so we can begin the ceremony on time at 2:30 PM.
Who can I contact with questions?
Reach out to us anytime and we'll be happy to help — we're so excited to celebrate with you.
