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!

Comfortable shoes are strongly encouraged, especially for dancing! Feel free to roam the trails and property. The bride will be wearing converse at the reception!
