Our Wedding

Where do you even begin with a story like ours? A simple coffee date snowballed into six years of chaos, comedy, and major life milestones&#8212;plus the occasional &#8220;how do we adult?&#8221; moment. We made it through a global pandemic, merged our stuff under one roof, and managed not to strangle each other in the process. We'd call that success. It would be impossible to sum our story up to a single web page so here are some of the highlights for you to enjoy.

Our first ever picture at the AMC theater when we saw one of the Star Wars movies.

We met a bear at the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids, Michigan where Ryan got a small taste of what I do at work every day.

We decorated our first Christmas tree! (Faith then killed the tree but it's ok we have a cute fake one from IKEA now)

We attended multiple Rebel Daze pig roasts (where Faith became very well acquainted with a lovely bush every time)

The first of many fishing trips.

One of many Air Fryer creations we cooked together in Ryan's apparent.

Celebrating the Holidays with with some of the most amazing people &#128150;

One of our many trips to MSI, which is one of Faith's favorite places to go (Ryan insisted we take a brake from going because apparently 4 times in a 3 months is too much)

Our Covid trip to Las Vegas. We gambled, went to the Mob Museum and saw the bricks from the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre then enjoyed some cocktails in their speak easy. We went to Omga Mart and saw some pretty crazy art, and overall had an amazing time.

The day the infamous "cart story" was born. If you know, you know.

Our first trip to Wisconsin Dells! We went to Ripley's Believe It Or Not, Tommy Bartlett Exploratory, wine tasting, and so much more.

One of many game night with family and friends. It's always a good time when Faith gets to bust out a fun game from her extensive collection.

Have we mentioned Faith really likes the Museum of Science and Industry? We escaped the museum and celebrated Faith's 27th birthday in style!

Celebrating Ryan's 35th birthday with Hooters wings and football. the Bears might have lost, but it was one hell of a game.

Out grate road trip to Georgia! We saw the Lazer Light Show at Stone Mountain (despite all the sudden rain &#129315;), when the amazing Georgia Aquarium, and the Coca-Cola Experience.

More hilarious highlights to come so keep checking in!

Our Story

"Did someone call for an amazing brother from another mother (and father lol). Although I enjoyed being the youngest, I'm so glad you came into my life. Anytime I need a good laugh or to reminisce about growing up in a big family I know he will be there with a smile and a good story. Plus I know I can call on him for help any time, anywhere.  Just as long as I don't ask him to weed wack." - Faith 

Tommy Doyle 

"Talk about a woman who does it all and more. A working woman, a mother of 2 adorable kiddos, and an amazing big sister. Although growing up we might not have always seen eye to eye, and there may have been a few broken bones and a concussion or two, I couldn't imagine my wedding day without her by my side." - Faith 

Hope Jones 

"What can I say about a fellow artist, actor, and musician other than "Bravo". We got closer in an unexpected way but I'm so glad we did. Watching her grow as an artist and a performer has been amazing, and our game nights can only be described as chaotic but I wouldn't want it any other way. My wedding day will definitely be full of laughter and smiles with her around." - Faith 

Samantha Doyle 

"Meeting Creighton 10 years ago significantly changed my life. Creighton helped rekindle a spark of love I had for the outdoors that I had thought Lost. From then on, it’s been nothing but adventures we’ve taken, stories we’ve made, and laughs we’ve had along the way. Creighton has showen me what determination, patience and commitment can bring to my life. Thousands of hours spent together on a boat in blistering heat, to frigid temperatures in deer stands. We have been through it all and more. That’s why I’m proud to call Creighton my brother and my groomsman!" -Ryan 

Creighton Delgado

"Where to even begin. Jason is the Calm before the storm in life. I’ve met Jason when I was 17 years old and from then on life has never been dull when we are together. Epic stories from Carbondale. Drinking Budweiser till the sun, comes up. Hilarious inside jokes. Fishing trips. Deep talks about fantasy football. Jason is the life of the party, always there when you need someone to talk to, always there with a helping hand and always there with a smile on his face. That is why I am proud to call Jason my brother and my groomsman." -Ryan

Jason Abbott 

"When it comes to Quick wit there’s no one faster than this man. Tim and I met shortly before college.  Bonding over beer pong, hilarious jokes, our love for firearms, crazy wacky wednesdays,  and Greek Easter’s at his family‘s house. Although Work caused us to see little of each other over the next few years, The 2020 pandemic caused us to be closer than we’ve ever been. Our only option was to play online video games. And that is what we did. Almost every night and every night since then talking for hours about life, cars, movies, philosophical questions, religion and so much more. It was through Tim’s reassurance and help that I was able to actually ask Faith to be my wife. That being said, I am proud to call Tim, my brother and my groomsman." -Ryan

Timothy Koutsid

"Dan has been with me my entire life. Knowing each other since the age of 5 we grew up together in Hickory Hills.  Riding our bikes, playing in the forest preserves, playing grand theft auto (hoping our parents didn’t find out), Backyard camping, road trips and so much more. Over the years Daniel has shown me the importance of never giving up. I look up to him for his intelligence and his indomitable will, the likes of which I have never seen before in my life. I am so proud to call Dan, my brother and my Groomsman!" -Ryan
