. . . . .
Johnny managed to find someone who made him a better person, challenged him in every way, and loves him more than he knew possible. That person also happens to be named Johnny.
Unlikely as it may be, two Johnnys found each other and they don’t seem to be letting go.
With new jobs, a new home in a new city, and a small family with Baron, to start, our lives keep changing every day—together.
When we tell the story of a chauffeured vintage French convertible and the elusive “man in the blue scarf” on the bridge at 5pm in Paris, we aren’t describing a Jason Bourne film, rather the surprise proposal that’s turned this unexpected connection into what’s sure to be a life-long adventure.
We will share our love for one another with a small group of family and friends on September 27, 2019 in Chicago.
Whether you’ll be with us in person or celebrating our marriage from afar, we are grateful for your love and support and we look forward to making new memories with you!

Your Travel Arrangements
This is a Friday wedding. Our hope is to have as much time as possible to spend with each of you.
You may arrive any time, however the room rates begin on Thursday, September 26, 2019. You may request an extension of the rates by contacting the hotel if you wish to come early or stay longer.
It's suggested you arrive Thursday evening if you are traveling by air to avoid any interruptions which may prevent your attendance. Thursday evening dinner is intended for the Coleman and Cooper families.
All other events are intended for every one of our guests and we hope you will join us for as many as you are able or willing. It is sure to be a fun group!
We will host brunch on Sunday, so if your departures allow you to stop by and be with us for any amount of time, please do. We are right off the highway on your way to Chicago-O'Hare (ORD - 14.5 miles Northwest) and Chicago Midway (MDW - 13.5 miles Southwest).
Getting Around Town
Renting a car is not advised. Parking is very expensive in garages, including hotel, and risky on the streets. Lyft, Uber, or taxis are the best way to get around. Lyft and Uber require you to download the app on your smartphone.
We will have transportation for a few of the events (more to come on this).
Transport from the airport is easy by train (subway) on the CTA or it is a $30-40 Lyft/Uber ride depending on time of day. Evening arrival may put you at high traffic time making the 30 minute ride more than an hour at times, so please plan accordingly.
