We first crossed paths while working at a dog daycare, a place that felt more like home than work, especially since dogs are something we’re both deeply passionate about. It didn’t take long for us to realize our connection was something special. What began as shared laughter and long conversations quickly grew into a love rooted in trust, respect, and the joy of building a life together.

Reina is a spooky, horror-loving, dog-obsessed soul, while Brandon is a country-at-heart, outdoors-loving, tattooed dog enthusiast. On paper, we may seem like opposites, but together we’re the perfect balance. Whether we’re cuddled up on the couch with our dogs, getting lost in a video game, or planning our next adventure, we’ve built a bond that’s full of love, laughter, and unwavering support.

From the very beginning, we knew this was it, we were in it for the long haul. And now, surrounded by the people we love most, we can’t wait to begin the next chapter of our story.

We know some of our guests will be traveling from out of town, and we truly appreciate you making the journey to celebrate with us! The Elmhurst area offers numerous hotel options to make your stay comfortable.

If you’d like accommodations within walking distance of the reception, we’ve listed an on-site option below. We hope this helps make your visit as easy and enjoyable as possible so you can fully relax and enjoy the celebration.
