Our Wedding

We matched on Bumble in July of 2024. Our first date was on a Sunday afternoon in early August, at Woodlawn Beach. We laughed a lot. We continued seeing each other and in the course of a few weeks we officially started dating on August 15, 2024. Our story has been one of trying new things, traveling to new places and dreaming of a future neither of us thought would be possible. The many nights of planning and plotting are slowly but surely coming to fruition. On Friday, August 15, 2025 Nico proposed at Peaks Island in Portland, Maine. Our wedding and marriage are big steps that we know we are ready for. We look into the future with love for each other and those close to us. We are excited to go forward with our lives and for all of you to be a part of it.

Lindsay & Nico’s Story

Our Story

Photos

The year was 2007, the location was Covenant United Church of Christ, the event was a Sunday night Youth Group gathering - that is where Lindsay and Maggie’s friendship began. Although they went to different schools, they were always extremely close. Maggie lives in a different state now, but still their friendship knows no distance. Lindsay couldn’t imagine having anyone other than her Best Friend as her Maid of Honor.

Maggie Kropf

Bryan from America is Nico’s best friend since high school, when they met in 2010 on the varsity soccer team. He is a fun and giving person. He is the most hardworking individual we know. And ladies… This man is single, drives a truck and makes the best sandwiches at 3 in the morning.

It was the Disney College Program that brought Lindsay and Katie together. Not only were they roommates, but also coworkers as lifeguards at Disney’s All Star resorts. They became fast friends with their matched humor and their witty story telling abilities for the masses on Snapchat. Although Katie lives in a different state, they have remained very close, and in contact over the years. Lindsay knew she had to have this true friend as a part of her big day, and she cant wait to see her tear it up on the dance floor!

Katie Greene 

Bryan from Ecuador, that’s right, Nico’s two best friend’s names are both Bryan. Bryan is the friend that you will not talk to for a year, but when you finally see him, you will laugh until lunch time the day after. They have known each other since middle school and Nico is so thankful he is traveling from Ecuador to be a part of his big day!

When Faye moved junior year of high school to Royalton- Hartland, her and Lindsay became fast friends. From classes, Faye’s short stint as a Channel Cat, and being on the softball field, they spent a lot of time together. Now, as years have passed since high school - Faye is the type of friend that no matter how much time goes by you pick right back up where you left off. Lindsay is so glad to have someone who was part of great high school experiences, as both a friend and teammate, to be a part of her wedding day.

Lindsay shouting, “John Stoddard!” down the middle school hallways every time she saw John was how their friendship began. John has always been like a brother to Lindsay, knowing how to push her buttons with his extensive sarcasm and quick comebacks. Their friendship has encompassed many late night conversations regarding their hopes for the future. He is the reason Lindsay started online dating and met Nico, so it only seemed fitting that he would be the person to officially make them husband and wife. Nico and Lindsay know he is the perfect man for the job.

John Stoddard

When Sarah started working at Niagara Wheatfield High School a few years ago her and Lindsay would talk in the counseling center daily. Their friendship is a classic story of two girlies bonding over books, and the rest is history. Lindsay knew Sarah’s kindness, warmth and laughter would complete her wedding party!

Sarah Dinger

The leader of the Zayac flower girls. Julia is made up of energy, ideas and she is full of spunk. If you need a conversation partner, she’s your gal, and the topic could be anything. We are glad she will bring more joy into our wedding day.

Julia Zayac

Delaney is the shyest of the group, but when she opens her heart to you, you better be prepared for the wittiest, sweetest, and most loving kid. The out of pocket comments will always keep you coming back for more because you never know what humor you will get. Her love for all things girly will make her a joyful flower girl.

Gwendolyn, the youngest of the Zayac cousins, she will steal your heart! If there was a contest for the three year old with the most personality, she would win by a long shot -she is a ham. This little one is as funny as she is tough. She will be an adorable flower girl to entertain all guests. 

Gwendolyn Zayac

Bria, the oldest of the Zayac cousins, was chosen to be the ring bearer due to her ever present responsibility. She is caring, thoughtful and creative. We are so glad she is going to play such an important role in the wedding ceremony.

Nolan is someone who loves to be the comedian of the group, and will do anything to get a laugh. He is a social butterfly and will do a great job joking around with all of the guests before the ceremony.

Nolan Zayac

Gavin is a silly and energetic boy. He enjoys learning and taking in the world around him. Always curious, he will find interacting with family and guests as a junior usher ever entertaining.
