Our Wedding

It all started at a pre-party before the beginning of their first year of law school. What began as a casual introduction quickly turned into a battle of wits that neither of them saw coming.Their first conversation was, in a word, ridiculous. Arman asked where Megan was from, and she told him, “Kearney.” His response? “That’s unfortunate.” Naturally, Megan fired back and asked where he was from (with a bit of bite, he absolutely noticed). “Omaha,” he said. “Ah,” Megan replied, “that explains why you’re such an asshole.” And just like that, something clicked.From that moment on, their connection grew over shared laughter, mutual curiosity, and a matched intellect that kept them constantly on their toes. Whether it was Arman making Megan tea while she was extremely sick during finals, or Megan planning over-the-top birthday parties to celebrate him, their bond has been built on small gestures, unwavering support, and knowing exactly how to make each other laugh.Now, after almost a decade together, they are so excited to begin this next chapter and can’t wait to celebrate with all of you—the friends and family who have cheered them on, lifted them up, and been part of their story from the very beginning.

Our Story

Travel

How do I get to the Black Hills?

You can <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr53HPpMZMI&amp;ab_channel=TopClips" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">drive</a> (we have suggestions for fun things to do if you want to make the trek).orThe closest airport is <a href="https://rapairport.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rapid City Regional Airport (RAP)</a>, which offers direct flights from Denver, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Mesa (AZ), and Minneapolis. Airlines serving RAP include Allegiant Air, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Sun Country Airlines, and United Airlines.

Rental Cars

We strongly recommend renting a car if you are flying into RAP. The wedding festivities will take place in the Deadwood/Lead area, approximately a 45-minute drive from Rapid City. While we wish we could coordinate rides for everyone to get to Deadwood, we will be busy preparing for the event and will not be able to provide transportation between the airport and hotels in Deadwood. Please note that a shuttle service will be available between Deadwood and Lead on the day of the wedding. Luckily, rental cars are readily available right at the airport terminal for smooth and easy travel.

Accommodations

A wedding block will be available at <a href="https://deadwoodlandmark.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Landmark Hotel and Casino</a>, located in downtown Deadwood and within walking distance of the trolley pickup location. If the block fills, two additional great options are:<a href="https://www.deadwoodlodge.com/?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=leisure&amp;utm_content=branded&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=874607035&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADrBNs-I71WharMjv4_WhstIjDsd3&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwp_LDBhBCEiwAK7Fnko6NqCgDrPUL4lttw1PU32bd8rXtZpOhnW1fxHxq6E2dhvL6CPDQbhoCWz0QAvD_BwE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Lodge at Deadwood</a> – a beautiful full-service hotel with views of the surrounding hills. Please note: it is not located in downtown Deadwood and will require a short drive or ride to the trolley pickup. <a href="https://www.tinlizzie.com/lodging/four-points-by-sheraton/?gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=12761398072&amp;gbraid=0AAAAABl8R-xGHn4j-2-9zL8vsCtkVN-cc&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwp_LDBhBCEiwAK7FnklGJtJ501dEpwD6BtEDsXsL0TJf0Mh3H_XtHKDCuUJDjFARy0YRaAxoCTkgQAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Four Points by Sheraton</a> – a modern hotel conveniently located in downtown Deadwood, close to restaurants, shops, and the Landmark Hotel. Since September is still a popular time to visit the Black Hills, we recommend booking your accommodations as soon as possible.

Trolley

A trolley will be provided to shuttle guests between The Landmark Hotel in Deadwood and the Homestake Opera House in Lead, where the ceremony and reception will be held. We kindly ask all guests (even locals) take advantage of the trolley, as parking at the venue is extremely limited. More importantly, we want everyone to have a safe and sober ride back to Deadwood after the celebration. Trolley times and pickup details will be shared closer to the big day!

Ceremony & Reception Details

Where is the ceremony and reception?

The ceremony and reception will be held at the <a href="https://www.homestakeoperahouse.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Homestake Opera House</a> in Lead, South Dakota. Both events will take place indoors, offering a cozy and elegant setting.We will also be hosting a cocktail hour with the option to enjoy the venue’s patio. Please note that it can get chilly in the Black Hills during the fall, so we recommend bringing a light jacket to stay comfortable while outdoors.

Wedding Day Timeline

What is the dress code?

We request that guests dress their best to help us celebrate in style. Men please wear suits- tie optional. Women please wear a formal cocktail dress or pantsuit.

Can I have a plus one?

We are keeping our guest list small so we can celebrate with our closest people. If your invitation includes a plus one, their name—or “and guest”—will appear on the envelope or RSVP. Otherwise, we kindly ask that you attend solo, as we are unable to accommodate additional guests.&nbsp;

Are children invited?

While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives you a chance to relax and enjoy the evening with us.

Photos during the ceremony

We are having an unplugged ceremony—meaning we kindly ask that all phones and cameras be put away during the ceremony so everyone can be fully present with us. But don’t worry, we’ve hired a great photographer to capture it all! Feel free to take photos during the reception and add them to our digital wedding album! You can add photos <a href="https://weduploader.com/upload/95QRbuNz0A4eEuah" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> or tag us on the gram!📷 @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/_megasis/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">_megasis</a>📷 @ <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thebrosnian/#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">thebrosnian</a>

Miscellaneous Questions

Who should I make gift checks out to?

Totally optional, but if you’re feeling generous, make checks out to Megan Krueger or Arman Zeljkovic, the bank gets picky about legal names (no matter how often we use the "Kruegovic” name).

Who should I reach out to if I have a last minute question?

Day-of questions? Ask our wedding coordinators. Week-of questions? Ask the groom’s sister. Let’s give the bride a stress-free week!

Q + A

Luna has a deep passion for people, places, and things — all of them, all at once, and usually at full speed. 
There’s a strong chance she’ll abandon her post mid-aisle to greet a guest, sniff a flower, or admire her own reflection, but she’ll do it with unmatched joy and nubbin-wagging gusto.
Her heart is pure, her paws are clumsy, and her flower game? Unpredictable but unforgettable.

Luna 

Daisy is a gentle soul with a heart as big as her puppy-dog eyes. Though she’s a little nervous about her job and prefers a cozy lap to the dance floor, she’s been practicing her petal-perfect walk for weeks. With a little encouragement (and maybe a treat or two), Daisy is ready to add a sprinkle of sweetness and fluff to the big day.

Scenic Hiking/Biking/Driving

You can’t truly experience all the natural beauty of the Black Hills without some proper time outside. Each of these scenic hiking/biking trails can be completed in a single day.
