Our Wedding

Lindsey and Mary Grace’s story began over a Zoom call, yes, a Zoom call. Lindsey was producing Fame and, thanks to a recommendation from their mutual friend Mitch, reached out to Mary Grace about choreographing the show. From their very first conversation, Lindsey was struck by Mary Grace’s experience, glowing recommendations, and infectious energy. Although Lindsey had seen Mary Grace perform in several productions through overlapping theatre circles, this was their first time working together. As rehearsals began, so did a fast and easy friendship. At the end of the production, Lindsey was preparing for a trip to Napa with friends and mentioned she wanted to update her dating profile with new photos. Mary Grace, along with their friend Jason, eagerly offered suggestions—think poolside poses and vineyard glamour. While in Napa, Lindsey shared her photo options, and somewhere between those snapshots, Mary Grace began to see Lindsey in a new, more romantic light. Later that summer, the two attended a production of Heathers with friends. After the show, they grabbed drinks and continued building their already strong connection. That night, Mary Grace went home and confessed to her roommate Allison, “I really want to kiss Lindsey… but she’s not gay.” A few weeks later, the two met for lunch—which somehow turned into dinner, and then an invitation to Tuesday trivia. At the end of the night, Mary Grace offered to walk Lindsey to her car… and made her move with a goodnight kiss. Lindsey was, understandably, shocked—and immediately frustrated that her trusted advisor Jimmy was out of town and unavailable for immediate consultation. Upon his return, she scheduled an urgent debrief. As always, Jimmy asked thoughtful questions and offered wise advice, encouraging Lindsey to stay open to something new. Not long after, Mary Grace asked Lindsey on their first official date to see Newsies and to have dinner. Keeping an open mind (and heart), Lindsey said yes. By the end of the evening, they both agreed: this was something worth exploring. Over the following weeks and months, their relationship grew deeper. As this was an unexpected new chapter, especially for Lindsey, she continued leaning on Jimmy and gradually shared the news with friends and family. She was especially nervous to tell her friends Summer and Carin, finally admitting, “I think I’m dating Mary Grace.” Their response? “Yes… we thought so too.” (Despite never having discussed it with each other!) Before moving in together, they started a sweet tradition of leaving notes for each other on their bathroom mirrors. And, in true, stereotypical fashion, conversations about the future—moving in, marriage—came quickly. Mary Grace was adamant she would propose first, and on February 16, 2025, she did just that—writing the question on the mirror. Lindsey, of course, said yes. The celebration continued with a surprise engagement party surrounded by their favorite people. A few months later, during a trip to New York, Lindsey returned the gesture and proposed to Mary Grace. From the very beginning, Lindsey and Mary Grace have been surrounded by nothing but love and support from their family and friends. Now, they can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of their friends and family.
