Chad and I met almost 5 years ago at our friends wedding reception. Our relationship moved slowly in the beginning because of how different our lives were. I was still attending college in Peoria and Chad was living in Champaign. It took a month for Chad to call me, but it was worth the wait. We began our nightly 3 hour conversations and finally, after 2 weeks, we went on our first date. It took 3 months for Chad to call me his girlfriend, 7 months to say "I Love You" and 4 years for him to propose. We have had our up's and down's over the years but in the end Chad and I couldn't be more perfect for each other. I can honestly call Chad my best friend and I have no doubt in my mind that we will truly have a happy marriage. Chad and I are so excited for our wedding day. We are very blessed that all of you will be there to celebrate with us!

I cannot wait for our ceremony.  It will be a very elegant and beautiful wedding thanks to my amazing parents.  Our Wedding Ceremony will be at Faith United Methodist Church on Prospect in Champaign.  The ceremony will begin at 4:00pm. 

Our reception will be immediately after the ceremony. It will be held at the Labor Unions Hall in Urbana. The reception will be beautiful with amazing center pieces, decorations and up-lighting. We will have a photo booth and a candy bar so get excited!! Chad and I are counting down the days until we can celebrate our wedding day with all of our amazing friends and family!!

Thank you to all of our family and friends who donated to our honeymoon.  Each gift will make our honeymoon more amazing and exciting.  We appreciate you all very much.  See you all July 28th!!!
