On October 13, 2025, after 10 years as partners, we tied the knot in a small ceremony and reception in Wilmington, Delaware. There are some amazing photos you can view in our gallery.
To allow us to celebrate with our extended family and friends, Jeff & Tari Sefton offered to host a second wedding reception for us in Chicago! This family friendly, semi-casual party will take place Saturday, April 18, 2026, starting at 6pm at the Irish American Heritage Center in the Mayfair neighborhood of Chicago. Local Chicago fare served at 7pm, with music starting at 8pm. RSVPs preferred - please contact Jeff, Tari, Erica, or Chris, as appropriate.
Celebrate with us this spring in Chicago. Come as you are and enjoy live music, open bar, and local fare including pizza, beef sandwiches and more. The Chicago Spring Celebration is family friendly. We look forward to celebrating with you! There is plenty of free parking at the Irish American Heritage Center. The nearest train is the Montrose Blue Line Station (about a 10 minute walk).
