Our Wedding

It all started in 2017 when Kelly was working at a restaurant with Josh's roommate at the time. His roommate posted a photo of him on Instagram and Kelly asked "Who on earth is that? And when can I meet him?"Josh was shy and Kelly was not and after some texting we went on our first date and have not been apart since. We ended our first date running through the sprinklers at Cheeseman Park on the way home from the bar and Kelly knew she found an adventure partner for life.After 2 weeks of dating Kelly told Josh she loved him and he said it back (phew! That was a wild move). We fell hard and fast and have been building our life together for the last 8 years in Denver.We bought our condo in 2023 and have been updating it to sell and buy a house house. We are planning to do so shortly after the wedding.We can't wait to have all of our favorite people in one place to celebrate us and our next adventure together!

Wedding Party

We recommend this hotel as it's right down the road from the venue but we have not officially blocked off rooms here. Prices may be a little higher due to Michigan football game.

Weber's Boutique Hotel

This is a great recommendation if you do not want to stay in Ann Arbor. Right off of I-94 (highway to the DTW airport).

Baymont by Wyndham Chelsea

We recommend this hotel but have not blocked off rooms here. Another good option close to the venue.

Hampton Inn & Suites Ann Arbor West

Another good option near the venue. We have not blocked off rooms here.

Hotel Recommendations

Frequently asked questions that can likely be answered here

Where is the wedding? The ceremony &amp; reception will take place at our family friend's home/backyard in Chelsea, MI (9741 Liberty Rd.). The ceremony will be outdoors (grass). Dinner will be under the tent in the yard and dance floor and bar will be in the barn (cement floor + wooden dance floor). We will have high top cocktail tables and lounge seating inside the barn. Where should I stay for the weekend? We have a couple of recommendations for hotels in the area on our "Hotels" tab. There are also lodging options on Airbnb and VRBO. Anywhere near Chelsea, Ann Arbor, or Dexter, MI is close to the venue. When should I book my accommodation? We recommend booking your hotel/airbnb ASAP. After we locked in the date the University of Michigan football schedule came out and unfortunately there is a home game on our wedding date. The Big House (Michigan football stadium) is down the road in Ann Arbor so hotels in the area will also be accommodating football fans as well. GO BLUE! When should I get there? We recommend coming in on Friday if you are traveling from out of town/state. If you live in the area just show up at the ceremony time on our invitations. When should I get my invitation? Soon! We are finalizing some details but you will receive your invite by the end of May 2026. Are kids invited? We love your kids but respectfully encourage you to find accommodations for your child(ren) during the wedding ceremony &amp; reception. We will only be able to accommodate children in our immediate families. If this request will prevent you from attending, please reach out to Kelly directly to discuss (734-646-2128). We thank you for your understanding! Is there a rehearsal dinner? Yes, there will be a rehearsal dinner with the bridal parties and close family on Friday evening. You will receive information in your invitation if you are among said group of people. What will the weather be like? It will still be warm in late September. Weather could be between 65-80 degrees. We recommend bringing a light jacket for the evening if you might need it. What's the vibe? We don't want a super formal wedding. This will be an elevated back yard party. Vintage inspired, bohemian, eclectic, whimsical, fun are the words Kelly has been using to describe the vibe. What should I wear? The dress code is semi-formal. Bright, bold colors, fun, funky attire encouraged. Some inspiration is below.

There are a lot of great hiking trails in the area! Michigan is still green and lush in September and the trees are just beginning to change to their fall colors. Kelly loves the Potowatami trails in Pinckney, MI.
