The Hulse’s Love Story
Lara and Andrew’s adventure began with a Tinder swipe in 2019, leading to their first date at Endeavor Brewing in Grandview, Ohio. Despite nearly four months of dating before Andrew officially asked Lara to be his girlfriend, their connection was undeniable. Their second date was a comedy of errors, with a waiter assuming Andrew ordered the dark beer and steak instead of the light beer and chicken. Four years later, Andrew took their romance to new heights with a dreamy proposal at an all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana. In 2022, they expanded their family by adopting Scooter, their four-legged "child" who almost bolted for freedom the moment they brought him home. From promotions and starting businesses to losing businesses, moving in together, and even surviving a car accident, Lara and Andrew have faced it all. Through thick and thin, they support each other, navigating life’s ups and downs with a blend of wit, whimsy, and undeniable charm.

Question
Can we bring gifts to the wedding?

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all! If you’d like to give a gift, we kindly ask that larger items be sent directly to our home to make things easier on the day of the wedding. However, there will be a designated spot for cards and small gifts at the venue if you prefer to bring something in person.
Question
What is the wedding day itinerary?
Answer
The ceremony will begin at 5:30pm. Please plan to arrive around or just before 5pm to find parking, pick your seat, and enjoy our pre-ceremony refreshments! Cocktail hour will start around 6pm followed by dinner and dancing. The evening will wrap up around 11pm.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
What does "cocktail attire" mean? Cocktail attire is a dress code that falls between semi-formal and dressy casual. It's a chance to look polished and put-together, but without the formality of a black-tie event. Here's a breakdown for what to wear: Women: We recommend dresses, dressy jumpsuits, or a skirt and blouse combination. Men: A suit and tie is a classic choice, or a dress shirt with slacks and dress shoes. Remember, our main goal is for you to feel comfortable and celebrate with us!
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes! We’ll have a selection of beer, wine, seltzers, and liquor, along with a few special signature cocktails!
