Kristin & Peter in South Haven, MI

During college, Kristin and Peter knew each other from Spanish class but only started talking after they bumped into each other at a party. After graduation, they dated on and off when their geographic locations allowed (they both moved around a lot for work!). Neither thought they’d actually end up together until they wound up living in the same city at the same time and started dating again. Five years later, they decided it was time to get engaged. The Bride Kristin Kasperek, 32, a photographer The Groom Peter Uhlenhake, 32, in legal services The Date September 12 Kristin knew right away she wanted to get married at her parents’ lake house in South Haven for a mini-destination wedding, as she and Pete (and most of their guests) live in Chicago, only two hours away. She's always been obsessed with maps and incorporated them into the wedding decor.
