Our Wedding

Jackie and Sean's story begins at the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office. On an otherwise ordinary night, and by a fortunate mistake, they were attending the going away party of a co-worker named "Sean". Believing he was the wrong person, Jackie asked Sean if he was "the Sean who was leaving". This began a simple conversation, which quickly turned into the entire evening. The two of them became lost in conversation, without even realizing, that the party concluded and most of their co-workers had gone. From there, Sean was taken! Over the next year or so, Sean found himself taken by Jackie, and with the help of his brother Robert and a few of his friends, Sean warmed his way into Jackie's heart and the two fell in love! They have been completely inseparable since and are falling in love deeper and deeper every single day! With a world-wide pandemic and an ever-changing office, Jackie and Sean have continued to grow both with and within each other's hearts over four wonderful years together! They cannot wait for you to be able to celebrate their love and life together, as they begin their true journey together forever!

Keri is Jackie's younger sister, but she has always been the one to keep Jackie in check (by feeding her, furnishing her home, and giving Jackie all her clothes).  Growing up, the two have been through thick and thin (ranging from break ups, petty fights, parties, college visits, and trips across the U.S.), and they remain close (even though Keri has opted for warmer weather in Texas)!  Jackie is thrilled to have Keri by her side, both on her wedding day and on the days to come!

Jackie was lucky enough to have Brianne become her sister back in 2016 (when she married her brother, Sean).  Even though Brianne and Sean live in Ohio, they visit each other every chance they get (jamming out to music, playing games, and chasing after Brianne and Sean's three beautiful girls), and they have grown closer and closer over the years.  Nine years ago, Jackie had the honor of standing by Brianne's side at her wedding, and she cannot wait for Brianne to be a part of her day in May!

Now, Jackie cannot wait for Sara to be a part of this milestone and to party with each other (yet again)!

Sara Latronica

Ann is one of Jackie's oldest friends.

Now, Jackie is so excited for Ann to stand up in her wedding, and she cannot wait to celebrate with her!

Thirteen years ago, Jackie had the privilege of standing up in Lesley's wedding, and she is so excited for Lesley to stand by her side in May!

Jackie and Jenny have been friends since 2009.  That year, they met 1L year at University of South Carolina Law School and became friends instantaneously.  From having cram sessions with each other, to going out in Five Points, to graduating together, and to visiting each other in Chicago and South Carolina post-graduation, they have remained close for the last sixteen years.  In 2016, Jackie had the honor of standing up in Jenny's wedding (on a beautiful mountain in West Virginia), and Jackie is so excited to have Jenny stand by her side in May!

Jenny Felder

Jackie and Sarah met in law school and lived in South Carolina for three years.  During that time, they spent the majority of their time together (in classes, at the gym, at tailgates, at football games, at parties, at bars, and at each other's houses).  After graduation, Jackie moved back to Chicago, and Sarah stayed down south, but they grew closer (even when Sarah moved to Washington, D.C. and to Paris to accomplish her dreams).  Every time Jackie and Sarah hang out with each other, they have a blast, and Jackie cannot wait to celebrate her wedding with Sarah!

Sarah Downs

Jackie and Alysa met in 2018 at the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office.  They started at the office within weeks of each other and became immediately close.  For the last seven years, they have spent nearly every day together, both inside the office (talking and laughing in each other's cubes) and outside the office (going golfing, going to restaurants and bars, and drinking wine and watching reality TV at each other's houses).  It's fair to say that Alysa knows Jackie very well (and even predicted that Jackie and Sean would date each other, long before it became official).  She's been a part of Jackie and Sean's relationship every step of the way, and Jackie is so honored that Alysa will be part of her wedding day!

Alysa Pick

Jackie and Kristy met in 2020, when Jackie and Sean first started dating.  Kristy is married to one of Sean's best friends, Derek, and Jackie and Kristy instantly clicked.  Over the last five years, the four of them have had multiple date nights (which have ranged from dinners at nice restaurants to karaoke at late-night bars), multiple game nights (board games and video games alike), and multiple barbeques and games of bags in the backyard.  From there, Kristy and Jackie have grown particularly close to each other (and Kristy and Jackie now regularly go to Pure Barre together - without the boys tying them down)!  Just a few months ago, Jackie had the honor of standing up in Derek and Kristy's wedding, and Jackie is thrilled that Kristy will now be standing up in her wedding!
