Our Story

Meet Kathleen, the bride's younger sister! With a 7 year age gap, we may not have always been close, but now we are as thick as thieves and talk everyday! Fun fact: Kathleen got married in September 2024 to Mat. We call the Mat(t)s: 1T and 2T.

Kathleen Maxwell

This is Angee.. she and Bridget crossed paths at MolsonCoors in Chicago when she backfilled Bridget as an analyst when Bridget accepted a role to move back to Texas (and ultimately, meet Matt). Their role handoff was clunky.. but ultimately bonded them forever. Fun Fact: She loves all music from house music to Tom Petty. 

Angee Verish

Introduced Bridget to Matt back in 2019! If you want a funny story about the bride.. she's been there for 98% of them! Ask her about Taco Bell, hallway pizza, and New Orleans.. she'll tell you! Play Pitbull and that'll always get Wendi on the dance floor. 

Wendi Maher

Kayla is Matt's niece, but when there's an Oldham family gathering she and Bridget are probably together. Their mutual love of movies, Harry Potter, puzzles, and general shenanigans always makes for a fun time. Fun fact: Kayla is a librarian! 

Kayla Hodgson

First introduced as Matt's brother's girlfriend.. but a love of Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy and Harry Potter created a bond between her and Bridget that make the Oldham men crazy. Fun fact: Her dog's name is Minnie (like Minerva McGonagall in Harry Potter)

Cassie Newton

Meet Jess, she is Matt's best man's wife! We met just before Covid started at Bridget and Joe's birthday dinner at Royal China in Dallas. Bridget welcomed her to the friend group by saying, "We like you till we don't." as Joe introduced her to about 15 of our closest friends for the first time. Thanks, Jess, for laughing about it ever since!

Jess Grajewski

From being roommates to sand volleyball leagues and pretty much any adventure on the boat or traveling. Matt and Joe have been friends for 15+ years and we couldn't imagine this day without him (and his wife)!

Joe Grajewski

Matt and Bridget met Josh through his girlfriend, Jocelyn, who has been a great friend to Bridget for over 10 years. Josh and Matt became fast friends on their own.. from conversations about work and life, general love of metalwork, and a bourbon and steak hate to see these two coming.

Josh Dellinger

Bobby (or Leland) is Matt's older brother... the middle one, not the oldest of the five. They've been close their entire lives from growing up on the farm to both of them moving to Dallas. Fun Fact: His childhood nickname is Lightning Leland... you'll have to ask him why!

Bobby Oldham

He's the OLDEST brother! He moved to Dallas ~35 years ago and recruited his younger brothers to come too.. must've worked out as all of them have met some pretty great women along the way. Funny story.. you should ask Glen about toga parties & jell-o shots. 

Glen Oldham

Meet Chris, Matt's brother in law, he's also Kayla's dad. Kind of not jokingly we all know Chris is the favorite in the Oldham family.. he brings a level head and great sense of humor to everything. Fun Fact: Chris loves the Iowa Hawkeyes and Star Wars!

Chris Hodgson

Meet Marshall, he and Matt bonded many years ago in high school shop class over anything with an engine. Which is still true.. they both love anything with an engine and even though they haven't lived in the same state in almost 20 years, they are still close friends and we couldn't imagine this day without him.

Wedding Party

Q + A

This is our preferred location for hotels, we do not have a formal room block, but we will provide transportation to and from the venue from here. Also, it is close proximity to rehearsal dinner and Welcome Reception location (walking distance), plenty of restaurants, and shops.

Courtyard Dallas Allen at the Event Center

Other Lodging Options

AirBnB and VRBO are great options in close proximity to our venue; we'd recommend close to downtown McKinney if you choose this route. If you have a 'points' preference for hotels, there are plenty of options close to the Courtyard Dallas Allen mentioned above. Such as, Home2Suites by Hilton Fairview/Allen and Hampton Inn &amp; Suites Dallas-Allen.

Transportation

Dallas-Fort Worth is a large metropolitan area. Uber/Lyft are readily available from either airport (DFW or Dallas Love Field), the recommended hotel and wedding venue are about 40-50 minutes from either airport. Recommended lodging options are close to walkable areas where you will not have to drive to grab a bite to eat or get out of the hotel.

Travel

Visit downtown McKinney!Restaurants, boutique shops, art galleries, wineries, and local brewery.About 10 minutes from the venue and the preferred hotel.

STAYING THE WEEKEND?! Great! Downtown Dallas offers lively nightlife, great restaurant scene, art galleries, and plenty of sites to see! We'd recommend Dealey Plaza (for our history buffs), Perot Museum (for science geeks), and Knox-Henderson area for bars and restaurants.
