Hello!
If we had it our way, all of us would be on a beach in Mexico this weekend with Margarita’s in hand. Since our parents have been patiently waiting (5 1/2 years) for a ceremony though, we decided April nuptials in the city we met would suffice. There are plenty of bars to visit, cheese to consume, and bottles of champagne waiting to be popped – all we need are your lovely faces.
We sincerely hope you love visiting this city as much as we love living in it.
M&E
Marge & Eddie
It all began on October 30th, 2019, at the Wicked Hop. We were so engrossed in our conversation that we closed down the bar and completely lost track of time—we didn’t even notice who won Game 7 of the World Series, and honestly, it still doesn’t matter. The only thing that mattered to us at the end of the night was when we could see each other again.
Between balancing the demands of Graduate School at Marquette that fall, Pre-Covid, it took a few weeks before we could see each other again for our second date at the Packers vs. Seahawks divisional game in negative degree weather. If you ever want to see someone’s true colors get them to sit outside for three hours in -10 windchilled weather. From then on we were inseparable.
AND that continued as we got to spend 6 weeks together at Big Ed and Gina’s home in Florida because of the ‘Vid.
Since then, we’ve shared countless adventures, both near and far. Whether exploring new places overseas or finding excuses to visit friends out of state, we’ve been fortunate enough to do these things together!
We are thrilled to have you be a part of our celebration as we embark on this exciting new chapter together! Your presence means the world to us, and we can’t wait to share our special day with you.
Cheers!
