Our Wedding

Sometimes You Gotta Dip Your Pen in the Company Ink

It all started back in the summer of 2017. By sheer chance, MacKenzie and Peyton simultaneously started their professional careers at Kelly Scott Madison. Kenz was as an intern from Indiana University (go Hoosiers), and Peyt was a new hire from Wisconsin (no, Badgers). They worked together in a training program, and Kenz had a HUUUUGE crush on Peyton. Like most men, he was oblivious. After the summer, MacKenzie went back to college to finish her senior year. Yet, she made sure she kept in touch with Peyton, mainly talking about their shared love of The Office. When Kenz graduated the following year, she got a job at Kelly Scott Madison. Work started, and the two of them picked up right where they left off. This time, the flirting picked up and their relationship began to blossom. Peyton, still oblivious, didn't take initiative to ask her out for a loooong time, until one fateful night, he finally made a move. MacKenzie made her way to his apartment, and what ensued was a tipsy night of talking, eating pizza (only for Peyton...he did NOT save Kenz any pizza), and bingeing The Office. They knew it was meant to be. It was all a breeze from there. Peyt and Kenz were inseparable. Their love for each other grew as did their trips to Aurelio's for Chicago's best pizza. Fast forward: Kenz moved in and they rescued their cat, appropriately named Aurelio. Together, they took on the city and were ready to take on the world. However, the world had other plans in store. Enter COVID. Neither Kenz or Peyt had ever expected to live through a pandemic but here they were. Work from home became the norm, and they were together in a 500 square foot studio apartment 24 hours a day. What would've driven many (if not all) couples crazy, only made their love for one another stronger. It was clear they were soulmates. Two years later, on October 17, 2020 (their anniversary), Peyt worked up the courage to pop the question, and Kenz said "Of course!". They celebrated at the only place that made sense- Aurelio's pizza.
