Like many great Chicago love stories, ours started with a dinner reservation.

We were introduced to each other in 2020 thanks to mutual friends who clearly have a talent for matchmaking. Our first date was at Trivoli Tavern in West Loop, Chicago, where great food, easy conversation, and many laughs made it pretty clear this was going to be more than just another dinner.

From there, we spent plenty of time exploring together—trying new restaurants, wandering different neighborhoods, and planning trips whenever we had the chance. When we weren't out adventuring around the city, we were usually at home cooking together.

By 2022, we made it official and moved in together, continuing our shared love of travel, good food, and discovering everything Chicago has to offer.

A few years after that first date, Andrew brought things full circle by returning to Trivoli Tavern to propose - proving that sometimes the best love stories really do begin (and continue) at the dinner table.

We feel incredibly lucky to have such amazing friends and family in our lives and can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you in Montana.

What began with one dinner in Chicago has now led us to the mountains of Montana, where we can’t wait to celebrate the start of forever with the people we love most!
