Our Wedding

Hello everyone, Mitch and Anna’s story began long before 2016, when they officially started dating. They first met in grade school at St. Peter’s, where they quickly became close friends - often racing each other on the playground (Mitch always won). Sophomore year of high school at Quincy Notre Dame, the two began dating the night of Homecoming and have been together ever since. Throughout college, the two traveled countless miles to see one another, sometimes for a full weekend, and sometimes just for a single dinner - always finding a way to make time together. On May 16, 2025 Mitch proposed to Anna at her family's farm - a place filled with cherished memories they’ve shared over the years. Today, the two live in Chicago, spending their time exploring the city and discovering new restaurants. We're so excited for our friends and family to spend this special weekend with us. We look forward to celebrating with you October 17th, 2026!
