Our Wedding

Once upon a time, Nick grew up dreaming of attending Notre Dame University and wearing navy and gold. His grandfather taught there, his parents, aunts, and uncles attended the university, and so did his sister. Later his dreams came true and he even competed on the fencing team. In the meantime, Mackenzie was raised by a Catholic family and her grandfather was obsessed with Notre Dame. He taught Mackenzie, her brother, and cousin the ND fight song as children. Her grandpa was also a huge basketball fan and Mackenzie later played basketball at Baldwin Wallace University. Twenty+ years later, Nick and Mackenzie lived in NYC and both were invited to play pick up basketball with friends. Mackenzie had not played basketball since she moved from Ohio and Nick had not played since pickup in college. Ironically, Mackenzie and Nick both showed up in Notre Dame clothes. Nick wore issue gear from his fencing days at Notre Dame and Mackenzie wore a passed down sweatshirt that her grandpa had given her mom. "Go Irish!". This was the conversation starter that began their love story. That, plus, Mackenzie beating Nick in 1v1 basketball and him instantly falling for her. Maybe it was written in the stars, or maybe Nick was sent by her guardian angel Grandpa, or maybe it was a coincidence but whatever the reason, this story is our favorite and we can't wait to share our love with you in September when we officially become husband and wife. See you in September and Go Irish!!
