our_story
We met at a wedding in New Orleans in 2002. Ironically, Jen was the maid of honor and Michael was
the best man. We hit it off from the first moment we met. At the time, Michael was living in Chicago and Jen was living in Kansas City. A long distance romance developed (thanks to Southwest Airlines). After a year, Jen made the move to Chicago. We have been obnoxiously happy ever since. We realize everyday how lucky we are to have found this love. We can't wait to get married and celebrate with our friends and family.

Michael works for a software company and travels often. Occasionally, he calls Midway Airport his home away from home. Michael often claims he has more Southwest Airline drink coupons than his liver could ever possibly handle. When not on a plane, Michael enjoys coaching and officiating sports from his sofa. He also loves golf and plays when Chicago weather permits (about 2 months out of the year).


Jen works as a third grade teacher. It is her first year working in a regular education classroom. She spent the last 8 years working with special needs kids. She loves watching KU basketball, and has learned to appreciate Notre Dame football. She has even memorized the Notre Dame fight song!


We love spending time with our families and friends. We feel so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives. Thank you again for being part of our wedding celebration.
