The Wedding Venue
Royal American Links
3300 Miller-Paul Road Galena, Ohio 43021
Just a few minutes east of Hoover Reservoir is one of our favorite golf courses and the most perfect party venue. Our guests will enjoy cocktails and appetizers from the deck while we say our vows below in the grass overlooking the course just before sunset. Then back inside for a dinner and fun.
And yes, please take ALL the photos of you, the ceremony and each other with that fantastic golden hour lighting and sunset view!
Fun Fact
This sunset photo is at Royal American Links on May 28, 2020 during our first week of dating. It was maybe already our 3rd or 4th date because when you know you know ;) But still when there is a long history of people not showing their true selves, you still doubt. There was no way we were posting a photo of us together. That didn't happen for about 6 months. We felt that these moments should be explored privately. And when you look back and find these signs all along... sunset views promising hope during a season of global pandemic. And now here we are committing to each other publicly at the same place with *hopefully* another gorgeous sunset.
(Send the sunset + perfect weather vibes for October 7th please!)
Hotel & After Wedding Fun
Renaissance Polaris has been the scene of many late fun nights for us. We had their pool table room to ourselves during our first NYE together Dec. 31, 2020. Their bar ambiance is outstanding, plus an outdoor patio with fire pits. For those from out of town, it is the nicest, newest hotel on the north end of Columbus and about 12 minutes from the wedding venue. We will be staying there and would love to continue the fun there after the wedding and for Sunday morning breakfast.
details:
No room block for our intimate little party.
Here's the link to book.
October is surprisingly full so don't wait.
Let us know if you need alternate suggestions.
There's no official hold on the pool table room or patio so we are asking for some of our local friends to scout that out in advance and save some space for 10 - 20 people max?
No worries... everything always works out as it should and we find a way to make fun wherever we go. This has been the theme of our relationship and we are so excited to do that with our out of town and local friends TOGETHER!
Let’’s make beautiful memories!
I mean, I build websites for a living so how could we not have our own domain name and website??

How We Met
Yes, we met online, during a global pandemic. It's actually probably a strong reason this all worked. 6 months of just the 2 of us. Not meeting kids. Not splitting time with friends. Just the 2 of us and every outdoor adventure we could make up. Enjoy reading and watch for more of the story to be revealed leading up to the wedding :)
To Be Continued...
There's more to this story we want to share. Some here on this page and some at our wedding. So keep watching!
(ALSO IF YOU RECEIVED AN INVITATION RSVP PLEASE! We may email some extra details for the fun day we have planned for everyone!)
A big reason we want to have a wedding is to CELEBRATE LOVE.
And to truly lean into the joy and truth of such a beautiful emotion and commitment. We didn't get thru these 3 years without a LOT of self healing and BIG discussions about what love and marriage really mean. We hope this fun little web page and our wedding will be a bright light in the world (especially for our children) to see. And for us to remember always the beautiful journey that brought us here.
Oh... and we are so dang over our bitterness that we are going to do the non-cheesiest engagement photos ever 🤣
We literally laughed and gagged together at an acquanitance who did some super cheesy water photos and now we are eating our own words. Because...
LOVE WINS! And life is short so SAY YES and make those memories!
