Our Wedding

Kathryn and Jeff have known each for about fifteen years or so, stemming from their memberships to the Adirondack League Club. After noticing some social media pics of an adventurous trip Kathryn took to Ecuador, Jeff commented online. She noticed Jeff's recent trip to run a marathon in Bhutan, and commented too. They agreed to swap stories during the upcoming summer in the Adirondacks. At the June cocktail party to open the summer season at Little Moose Lake, Kathryn walked in and immediately caught Jeff’s eye. They quickly began to catch up when Kathryn invited Jeff to run the 15K Boilermaker Race in Utica the following weekend. They carpooled and talked during the carpool and the entire race (even after Jeff stated he never talks during runs). After the race, Jeff asked her to a Dave Matthews Band concert the following weekend. They had a great time! A couple weeks later, Kathryn joked to Jeff, “I signed up for a yoga &amp; music retreat in Bali in November. Wanna go to that concert?” thinking because of the distance (and their new friendship) he'd politely decline. Jeff signed up a couple of days later for Bali even though it was four months in the future… And Jeff wasn't done signing up for things just yet. The week after signing up for the yoga retreat, Jeff booked this wedding date at the ALC, two years in advance! Jeff just knew. At end of the 2023 summer, even though Kathryn and Jeff were having a great time getting to know one another, Kathryn confessed that she could not do another long-distance relationship. Jeff booked a ticket to Tucson for a couple of weeks to check it out, fell further in love with Arizona and each other. They bought a house in the foothills of Mt. Lemmon together in March 2024. So far it's been 12 months together, travel adventures in 6 states and 8 countries (including the summit of Kilimanjaro in Africa)! Upon returning to the Adirondacks in July 2024, Jeff proposed to Kathryn on the one-year anniversary of his registering for the yoga &amp; music retreat in Bali. Guess it was a pretty good concert! And so here we are now, getting closer to the date that Jeff reserved for the wedding after dating Kathryn for a month. Sometimes you just know…

Travel/Accommodations/Meals

There are go many great things to do at the ALC and around Old Forge! Here are just a few: AT THE ALC Hiking - there are over 100 miles of hiking trails within the ALC. We will offer a few group hike options on Saturday! Sailing - take a Sunfish for a spin on Little Moose Lake. Boating - there are a mix of kayaks, paddle boards, and row boats for your enjoyment on Little Moose Lake. Fishing - Helloooo! Lots of lake trout and landlocked in Little Moose Lake (bring your rod). Jeff will show you the best spots. Shooting - there is a sporting clay course, 5-stand, and wobble trap stand available to test your aim. Skeet shooting is a blast. Zing! Mountain Biking - We have a couple, and if those are spoken for, we can help you reserve one at Petals &amp; Pedals in nearby Inlet, NY. There are nice, wide dirt roads aka "fire roads" throughout the preserve that are terrific, and there are singletrack trails available too. Road Biking - We have some lovely roads surrounding the ALC, like the 23-mile South Shore &amp; Route 28 route. Rolling Adirondack hills, but not too steep. Kathryn used to train on these roads while preparing for World Champs each year during her pro cycling career. Drivers are friendly, but ya gotta watch for deer! :) Swimming &amp; Sunbathing - Yep. We got that. Come chill at the lake beach. September can be chilly or warm, be ready for either! Plenty of lounge chairs at the beach should the early autumn temps turn to summer. Pickleball &amp; Tennis - Play some games on some of the only wooden tennis courts in the country! There are also pickleball courts available, if you want to pull a muscle before the ceremony.

Registry

We feel very fortunate to have everything tangible we need. ❤️ Your presence at our wedding is the best present! Should you feel moved to make a charitable donation as a wedding gift, here are three nonprofit foundations we believe in and love supporting! <a href="https://foundationhoc.org/give/donate/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Community Foundation</a> supports the communities of Herkimer and Oneida Counties of upstate New York, which are in great need of economic development &amp; social equity. Helping low-income families in need is important to us, and Old Forge, NY--where our wedding will be held--is in Herkimer County. <a href="https://www.homestretchfoundation.org/donate" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Homestretch Foundation</a> is very close to our hearts as we celebrate 10 years of assisting low-income female professional athletes with free temporary housing and career resources, while lobbying for salary equity in pro sports. So far we've helped 104 athletes from 18 countries, 7 of whom are Olympians. We're getting closer to women &amp; men being paid equally. Until then, Homestretch Foundation--located in Tucson, AZ--helps bridge the gap.
