Our Story

Our story starts way back in High School.... we met through a friend, at a coffee house. Several weeks of conversations on the phone lead us to one spectacular trip the Brookfield zoo, standing in front of the polar bears! The rest is just history! We been through the remaining parts of high school, all of college and now past our first years of being "all grown up". Neither of us could be happier....

Our Wedding

Our wedding ceremony will be taking place at St. Christina's Church in Chicago, at 5:15pm on Saturday, September 26th, 2009. Please make sure to arrive there early, we would HATE for you to miss the biggest moments of our lives up to this point. It is a big honor for us to be able to invite you all to this special day! We can not wait!

Our Reception

The reception (party!!) will be held at the Riviera Country Club in Orland Park, beginning at 7:30. We know its a late start, but we have got you covered until 1 AM!! So please come prepared to spend the WHOLE night celebrating with us!!! We could not be happier to be able to celebrate with our closest friends and family (and if you were invited, thats you!!)

Travel Arrangements

We have been able to block rooms out at the Baymount Inn (708-597-3900), in Alsip Illinois (about a 1/2 way point from the reception and church). The reservations are under Friedl/Karp, so go ahead and book yourself a room, that's where we will be at after the wedding!! The rooms are reserved for $103 + tax, but that also includes a shuttle from the hotel (at 7pm) to the reception, and then back again (at 1:15 am)!! So no need to worry about who is picking you up!! We have taken care of it! So let loose and have some fun, we are only getting married once!!
