Our Wedding

Hayley and Brendan met in Spanish class their junior year of high school in November of 2017. In class, their Professora would have them practice speaking Spanish with randomly assigned partners. One day, Brendan was lucky to have Hayley assigned as a partner. They began dating that December and Brendan's Spanish grade miraculously improved from a C in the first semester to an A in the second semester! Through the rest of high school, they enjoyed going to see movies, spending time with and getting to know each other's families, and deciding where they would attend college. Hayley and Brendan decided to attend Loyola and DePaul, respectively. They both soon grew to love spending time in Chicago together. Some of their favorite things to do included going for walks through the different neighborhoods, exploring restaurants, and attending Loyola basketball games. One of their favorite areas to walk through was Wrigleyville especially on Cubs' game days. By junior year, they moved into their first apartment together just about a mile north of Wrigley field. This is where they soon found their favorite restaurant, Siam Noodle and Rice, which they regularly still make the drive to from the suburbs. Over their years of dating, Brendan grew to love Hayley's family dogs Coco, Tink, and Gus. Brendan did not have a dog growing up, and Hayley was persistent that they would get a dog together one day. Soon after graduation, they rescued a puppy named Tori. After the initial adjustment/debacle of figuring out life with a puppy, they both agree that Tori has been the perfect addition to the family. Since graduating, they most enjoy going for walks with Tori, trips to Disney, and spending time with family. Brendan proposed to Hayley on April 7, 2024 on their trip to Marco Island. They are looking forward to this next step of building their life together on September 12, 2025. They are very excited for their future and are grateful for all the support they have had from their families over the years.
