Our Wedding

June 5, 2020East Side Girl meets West Side BoyFor Lisa, joining the dating site was more of a dare and a mission to prove that you only meet serial killers on dating sites. Well, within the first week she was proven wrong. Michael reached out with a simple question, How are you doing during these crazy times? (or something like that ) - After all it was 2020 = COVID = the country shut down. After speaking every night on the phone for about a week it was time to meet in person...but...it was 2020 = COVID = nowhere to go. Fortunately, Yates Cider Mill was open for business. Needless to say it was a perfect afternoon and what ensued became our love story.

It's a Match.com!

Wedding Party

SEMI-FORMAL Our wedding will be a relaxed, elegant celebration—think polished but comfortable. Gentlemen: dress slacks or chinos with a button-down and blazer (optional), or a suit if you prefer; ties optional. Ladies: think cocktail dresses, dressy skirts, or chic jumpsuits - not too fancy, not too casual. Wear whatever makes you feel confident! Evenings can be cool—a light wrap or jacket is recommended. WHAT ABOUT SHOES?The reception is a backyard venue - grass, uneven terrain. Comfortable shoes are strongly encouraged, especially for dancing on the grass. Feel free to roam the trails and property. The bride will be wearing converse at the reception!
