The Ultimate Romance

In Summer 2016, Allyse and Drew met at WUDI Summer Rec League. Despite this being a league meant for educating new frisbee players, it was a harbinger when they showed no mercy along to a rec league title. Their overly competitive nature was the first sign that their may be something to build on. After racing through corn mazes and apple picking contents, they realized they could mix competing with a blossoming love. Both working in niche Medical Insurance jobs and living in Stamford, Connecticut, they continued to build a bond, 1 co-pay at a time. Allyse would work late nights, which would lead to her tiptoeing over to Drew's place for dinner nightly for "convenience." Drew would ask Allyse for lessons in spreadsheeting for "work opportunities" in return. Time spent together transitioned quickly into just being inseparable. 8 years later, 4 trips to Europe, including a month in Germany, many club ultimate seasons, and 2 WUDI CO-ED Summer League Championships in the bag. It is now time for this happy couple to tie the knot and compete into their next phase of life.

Our Story

Photos

Inseparable from Allyse since birth. Allyse's twin sister has been there and supported Allyse for all major life events. Cannot imagine this wedding day without her standing by Allyse's side as she ties the knot with Drew.

Pamela Rush

After meeting at the freshman year club fair in 2009, Drew and Teddy would spend the next 4 years slinging equal amounts of Coors Lattes and recycled plastic. No better man to stand by Drew's side, some would say a Best Man. 

Teddy Straub

Allyse's older and wiser sister. She created an unbreakable sister alliance inclusive of sister sleepovers and late night chats. Despite being confused as Pamela's twin sister, she has shown the unwavering loyalty and support to Allyse. Would expect nothing less than continual support on Allyse's big day!

Laura Apgar

After meeting at WUDI Rec League, they bonded at beating up on low level league competition. One 6 hour car trip  to Pittsburgh later, their friendship was cemented. 

John Stavinga

An incredible addition to the Fazio sisterhood. While Allyse's brother, Joseph, may have introduced Amanda to the family, it was Amanda's unconditional love and kindness that bonded her into the sister tribe. This day would not be the same without Amanda by her side.

Amanda Fazio

From playing football in the park on the weekends in Newtown as kids to chatting through videogames while a pandemic raged on as adults, spending time through conversation with Michael is timeless. 

Michael Lago

An elementary school friendship that lasted well into the adult years. Despite Christen's move to Texas, they always find a way to leverage car ride phone calls to stay in touch. Stoke to have her childhood friend there to support Allyse's next life milestone. 

Christen Westcott

After 3 years of playing Magma Bears, D-Line together, its only right they stand on the line together one more time. Despite the unity, Drew and Andrew have a shared love of mini-arguments. 

Andrew Marshall

Despite not meeting until Summer 2014, this adult friendship quickly rose to elite level friendship after Allyse moved across the hall from Amanda in fall 2016. They expanded their friendship into travel companions exploring various countries in Europe and navigating different time zones. It's only fitting that she join Allyse on her next adventure.

Amanda Kulbitsky

Drew relies on Zach to get all the news on Stamford policies; from zoning laws to public events. Without Zach, Stamford doesn't feel like home.
