It's a love story

BABY JUST SAY YES

Our Story

Photos

Forced to be my brother. Chose to be my friend. Destined to be my best man.

Jason

Brother from another mother. Got more inside jokes than coaster credits.

Calan

Faster runner, better Guitar Hero player. At least I'm taller.

Matt

Smartest man I know who still laughs at my jokes. 

Brandon

Good at the things I'm bad at. And also the things I'm good at.

Kyle aka Jonesy

Nick

Been my roommate for longer than Molly has and STILL wants to come to my wedding.

Logan

King of road trips, board games, and ice cream... No wonder we get along so well.

Vijay

Trivia teammate, running buddy, eclipse enthusiast, and a fellow birder all rolled into one guy.

Travis

My twin sister, Erin, and my little sister, Maeve, are my oldest friends. Going from fighting over Polly Pockets to being best friends has been one of the joys of getting older!

Erin and Maeve 

We met in a philosophy class our freshman year at UR and bonded over indie music and our shared scholarship. Soon, we were co-hosting a college radio show together, and since then, Sam's fantastic baked goods, favorite albums, and our chatty walks have been a happy fixture of my life. 

Sam 

We met as hallmates freshman year of college, where we spent most of our Red Bull fueled "study nights" talking and drawing up schemes on the white board until we fell asleep, or drove to Cookout. Sitting in the car or on the floor talking about life always feels like home. 

Bailey

Since we met as middle schoolers, Emily and I have embarked on more memorable, slightly terrifying adventures than I can count, from hitchiking in Turkey to paragliding in North Macedonia, and laughing so hard we cried in between. 

Emily

We met through friends in eighth grade and solidified our friendship through teenage summers spent working at the infamous "Schooner's Riverside Pub." Sitting in an outdoor cafe while Alicia tells the funniest story in the world is one of my favorite places to be.

Wedding Party

Q + A

Our wedding ceremony and reception will be held in downtown Rochester, New York, Molly's hometown. For those flying in, ROC airport is 13 minutes away from the venues by car. Buses, Ubers, and Lyfts run from the airport to the city center, so renting a car is not necessary.

This is a boutique hotel by Hilton. It is 0.3 miles from ceremony site and 1 mile from the reception site. We have a 15% off discount. Use promotional code Q78. Works for reserving a room for September 11-13 or September 12-13.

The Strathallan Rochester Hotel & Spa - a DoubleTree by Hilton

This is a nice hotel in more of a nightlife area, also .3 miles from ceremony site and .8 miles from the reception. We have 15% off discount. Works for booking a stay from September 11-13 or September 12-13.

Courtyard by Marriott Rochester Downtown

This is a brand new hotel right by the children’s museum. It is .7 miles away from the ceremony site, and .9 miles from the reception site. It is currently the most affordable option. We have 10 rooms available at a fixed rate, $189 per night, by clicking the link below. Must book a stay from September 11-13 to get the wedding rate.

Hampton Inn & Suites Rochester Downtown

Travel and Hotel Info

This is the former home of George Eastman, the Kodak photography pioneer. There's a lot of amazing photography exhibits, film screenings, and beautiful gardens to check out. Plus, it's right in the heart of the city!

George Eastman Museum

Seneca Park Zoo

The indoor/outdoor public market is a Rochester institution, and a great spot for Saturday breakfast or lunch. Be sure to try Juan and Maria's for empanadas, Cherry's European for pierogie plates, and Balsam for bagels.

City of Rochester Public Market

Not just for kids!! (Just ask me or Molly!) Has the National Toy Hall of Fame plus awesome exhibits about comic books, board games, favorite childhood books, and a great pinball room. I bet half of you have probably received a postcard from me from here! Gaming restaurant Nerdvana is just around the corner from here, so come celebrate in true Jon and Molly fashion by grabbing a bite to eat and playing some games.

The Strong National Museum of Play

Abbott's is a Rochester staple. Molly loves their chocolate almond, I really like their vanilla with sprinkles. Short walk over to Ontario Beach Park, but be careful it can get SUPER windy! If you're sticking around long enough for a meal, Windjammers just down the street has killer wings. Do the spicy maple ones!!

Day by the beach

Seabreeze's last weekend for the year! Come slay the Screamin' Eagle, Jack the Rabbit, and the PREME. (Shoutout to the three people that are in on this joke.) C'mon, how can you come to Jon and Molly's wedding and NOT ride a roller coaster?

Seabreeze Amusement Park

This huge, beautiful museum is just 2 blocks away from the ceremony site. Monet, Matisse, and tons of offbeat art. As a kid, I absolutely loved taking a zine making class here, and then as a high schooler, I made some of my favorite memories helping out at an art class for 4-6 year olds. Fun fact: We considered having our wedding here! Come check it out to see if we made the right call or not (:

Memorial Art Gallery

I love running or biking here via the Gennessee River Trail. You can start in the city and go all the way to the lake if you want!

Turning Point Park

A beautiful conservatory located right by the reservoir, which has great views, and within Highland Park arboretum. Highland is one of our really well designed Frederick Olmsted parks, alongside Seneca Park and Durand Eastman. And a childhood favorite for rolling down hills and tree climbing. Definitely check out the Sunken Garden!

Lamberton Conservatory
