Our Wedding

Jay and Courtney met at a Super Bowl party shortly after they individually moved to Denver, Colorado in 2019. They instantly hit it off. So much so, that Jay asked her on a date.... and she respectfully declined. Instead of a romance being born then, a friendship was. Jay and Courtney stayed close friends for a year and a half and it wasn't until the pandemic hit in 2020 that they realized their connection was more than friends. Once that connection was realized, the rest was history and a beautiful relationship began.

Best Friends Forever

Our Story

Photos

Courtney and Anna have known each other since 2002 when they joined the same swim team in Wilmington, DE. Once they were in the same age group in 2003, they became best friends and they became inseparable. When Courtney moved to Texas in 2005, the two vowed to always stay best friends. 20 years later and the two have kept their vows and have never lost touch through multiple moves across the country!

Anna Halligan

Courtney met Rebecca when she transferred high schools at the beginning of sophomore year of high school. Being the new kid at school, Rebecca immediately took Courtney under her wing and made her feel welcomed. They remained friends throughout college, with frequent visits between Dallas, Stillwater, and Lubbock. Shortly after Courtney moved to Denver, the two decided they could no longer stand having to visit each other, so Rebecca moved there too and the two have remained just as close to this day.

Allyson and Courtney met during Courtney's brief time in Lubbock, Texas for nursing school. The two city girls felt like outcasts in West Texas and quickly bonded and decided to become roommates in the chicest townhome the panhandle had ever seen. Though Courtney and Allyson have never lived in the same town since they both graduated, they have always made a point to stay in touch and be there for each other no matter what.

Courtney and Jess met in 2013 as sorority sisters of Phi Mu Sorority at Oklahoma State University. Freshman and sophomore years of college, the two were well acquainted, but typically found themselves in different crowds. It wasn't until Courtney left OSU after her sophomore year and was back for a visit that the two really hit it off! Since then, the two make it a point to do annual trips or visits whether it be in Colorado, Havasupai Falls, or Carpinteria, CA for Courtney's family reunion.

Courtney and Alexis are the poster children for a college roommate success story. The two met in the middle of their senior year of high school on a website designed for finding roommates, both with the mutual idea to find someone in the Dallas area so that they could meet up to vet the person before agreeing to be roommates. For these two, it was a match at the first 'date'! The two became great friends before starting their freshman year together and remained great friends through college and into their adult ives.

Garrett and Jay met in the fall of 2012 as pledges of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity at the University of Oklahoma. While there, they became close through their unwavering dedication to the Sooners and Thunder, as well as through the difficulties of being students in the Price College of Business. Although they moved apart after college, Garrett and Jay make it a point to stay connected and be there for each other through the roller coaster of life.

Tyler and Jay met at summer camp as reckless 11 year olds. Their friendship carried on through the years, eventually becoming close friends while on a youth group trip to Israel in high school. Even though they have always lived in different cities, Tyler and Jay have remained close through their love for video games, snowboarding,  and frequent trips to visit each other.

Andrew and Jay have know each other since birth and have been close friends since the intense poker tournaments of 8th grade at Holland Hall. They went on to stay close throughout high school, and eventually pledged the same fraternity and attended the University of Oklahoma together. Andrew and Jay have stayed close as they both attempt to navigate career transitions.

Ty and Jay met at OU through a mutual friend, Andrew! Through common hobbies of poker, travel, and a good game of pickup basketball they also became friends. In 2018, Ty and Jay embarked on a 3+ month long trip to 21 countries around the world, further solidifying their friendship.

Even though they haven't known each other very long and went to rival colleges, Shane and Jay easily connected through their love for a good beer, sports, and giving Courtney a hard time. Jay is excited to finally have a brother in the family and visit Shane in Hartford!
