Featured Family

Adam & Eleanor are very big on family, we wanted to take the time to introduce our roots to you all!

The Acronym Association

It's the most crucial step for any relationship, they've been by our side through it all,
it's time to... Meet the Parents!

Jon Alger

Father of the Bride

Jon grew up in the "snow belt" outside of Rochester, NY.  His favorite quality about Eleanor is her kindness. His favorite quality about Adam is thoughtfulness. Jon's next vacation focus is Australia/New Zealand, among many others (so much to see and do). He'd rather never be cold again over never being stuck in traffic. "Sometimes when you are stuck in traffic, you can notice things around you or develop insights about issues on your mind."
Ask Jon about coins!

Donald LeKang

Father of the Groom

Don spent his youth in the small town of Winsted, CT. Talking about Adam, the passion he displays and the way he embraces motivation are Don's favorite qualities. Talking about Eleanor, her good-natured attitude and genuine smile always makes him happy. And she laughs at some of his jokes too! His travel sights are set on Norway - his grandfather's birthplace. He believes a shirt inside out is far better than pants on backwards. "I sometimes wear my shirt wrong already and don't notice. It would be hard to zip and fasten pants when they are backwards."

Ask Don about golf!

Mary Ann Alger

Mother of the Bride

Mary Ann was born and raised in Florida, and loves calling Washington DC her home now. She says Eleanor’s smile, happy attitude, and sense of humor make her special and that Eleanor is creative, thoughtful, and smart. She says Adam is also creative, thoughtful, and smart. He is a leader with a can-do attitude. He is extremely talented, and he is a wonderful partner to Eleanor. She aims to visit Kansas, the only state she has left to visit. She would love to communicate with animals on their terms over being able to speak any language. "I would love to know what they are thinking."

Ask Mary Ann about Auburn Athletics!

Dawne LeKang

Mother of the Groom

Dawne is an Enfield, CT native. If she were to list Adam's possitive atributes, they'd be: Sweet, kind, loving, hardworking, talented, funny, and fun (just to name a few). As for Eleanor, all the same: So so so sweet, loving, kind, talented and fun! She wants to see where her family came from in Italy, among many places she'd like to travel. If she could either only open doors or only close them, she'd rather be opening doors! "I would be resourceful... I'd put up something temporary. Plus, if the door is open, I could still go into the other room--couldn't I?"

Ask Dawne about theater!

The Trees

Weddings are all about coming together, so let's get to know each side:

In loving memory

Weddings come with a lot of happiness, but it also reminds us of who couldn't be here. Of the many friends and family members who have left us,
there are five smiles that Adam and Eleanor wished they could see in the crowd.
