Our Wedding

Paige Corliss, a New England native, moved from Boston to Monroe, WI to pursue a one-year residency position. Her knowledge of the Midwest was limited to cheese heads at Packers games, JJ Watt, and ‘That 70’s Show,’ which was set in a location not far from Kenosha.&nbsp;Shortly after moving to Monroe, she attended her first Badger football tailgate and amongst the music and smoke she met Jake Wiederholt through mutual friends on the dance floor. Jake of Fennimore, Wisconsin, had been introduced as a former football and track athlete at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. He had lived in Madison for a number of years before he met Paige. After their first meeting, they had date nights nearly every Friday, and almost a year later Jake helped Paige move from her quaint apartment in Monroe to Madison. While they both worked and lived on opposite sides of the city, Jake introduced Paige all that the city had to offer, and their relationship flourished. They later moved in together downtown and became “east-siders” enjoying long walks, bike rides around the Lake Loop, and watching sporting events and concerts in Breese Stevens Field. Jake proposed to Paige in Spring 2021 at the Tenney Park peninsula they had walked past many times on their strolls. After the engagement, they started the process of building a home and moved in the fall of 2021. Then came the dog. They brought mini bernedoodle, Reginald White Brady Corliss Wiederholt home not long after moving into their new home and he quickly made the home his own. The small family currently lives in their home on the east side of Madison with the jobs they first arrived with in Madison and the love they first developed on that Badger Saturday in Madison.

Paige and Jake can't wait to celebrate with you at their wedding ceremony and reception in September!

Travel

Jake and Paige resided in Madison’s Tenney Lapham neighborhood from 2017-2021. This up and coming area is filled with things to do and great bites! It is close to neighborhoods Atwood, Capitol, and Marquette.

Madison’s Best Bites

Tenney Lapham

The Black Locust: Visit Jake and Paige’s favorite local coffee shop. They make the best homemade Chai in Madison. If you’re not up for coffee or tea, the revitalizing fruit and veggie juices may peak your interest. Enjoy your beverages and food in the outdoor courtyard.

LJ’s Tavern: Classy sports bar that will have every game you’re looking for on football Sunday. Paige became a regular here and had a designated seat at the bar to watch the New England Patriots with a Blue Moon in hand. The food is average but the staff and atmosphere are top notch!

Atwood

The Ohio Tavern: Set up as a bar, but known for the tacos they make on a tiny grill in the corner. Taste the most authentic tacos Madison has to offer! This location is CASH ONLY. While they make your order be sure to use your spare change to play some pull tabs.

Marquette 

La Kitchenette: Upscale French food at an affordable price. This place has been a long time favorite of Paige and Jake’s for breakfast/brunch. Don’t shy away from their Green French Toast! If you have room for dessert, their lemon curd crepe is divine. You will have to make reservations to eat here, there is nearly never availability for walk-ins. If your heart is set on trying their food, order out instead.

Taco Local: If you’re looking to get away from the bar scene and just enjoy your food, these tacos may be for you. Tacos are served with a small side salad and esquite (very good). They offer a couple other food selections as well, but don’t walk away without one of their cocktails - margarita, mojito, or paloma.

Capitol

Colectivo Coffee: Paige’s summer go-to is their horchata cold brew.

Marigold Kitchen: Paige and Jake’s favorite breakfast and brunch location. While their menu has so much to offer, you’ll struggle to walk away without getting one of the specials on the board. Their talent is creating something that is both delicious and healthier than your run of the mill breakfast spot. If your meal does not come with potatoes - request a side of them!

DLUX: Craving a burger - go here! While Paige’s favorite is the Spicy Hawaiian, Jake would choose the Smoke Show. Finish your meal with their parmesan and truffle cream fries and a boozy milkshake.

Tavernakaya: Usually one of Jake and Paige’s picks during Madison restaurant week. Favorites include their crispy brussel sprouts, pork gyoza, General Tso’s chicken, and Madtown sushi rolls.

Everyone needs a little ‘za in their life

Activities 

Dane County Farmer’s Market on the Capitol Square: This is the must see event as it is known as one of the largest homegrown markets in the country! Visit Saturday between 6:15 am - 1:45 pm. Insider tip is getting there before 8:30 am before the crowd gets too heavy. A Madison favorite is Stella’s cheesy bread, while Paige’s favorites include pesto feta croissants from Cress Springs Bakery, Capri Cheese, and “ultra healthy, very healthy, semi-healthy, slightly healthy and gluten free scones” from Chris &amp; Lori’s Bakehouse. https://dcfm.org/markets/saturday-on-the-square

Tour the Capitol: Take advantage of the free museum and views it has to offer. In the rotunda there is a museum on the capitol and Madison. Some steep steps will take you outside to lake and city views. While you can take an elevator most of the way up, you will need to utilize some stairs to access these amenities. Signage is poor until you nearly reach the top, so just keep going up until you can no more. Open Mon-Fri: 8 am – 6 pm, and weekends: 8 am – 4 pm. https://legis.wisconsin.gov/about/visit

Olbrich Botanical Gardens: Get lost in these whimsical gardens for just a donation as an entrance fee. Do not miss the Thai Pavilion, as it is only 1 of 2 in the United States! The Bolz conservatory is also filled with exotic plants, orchids, and birds. This amusement is accessible for a small fee. http://www.olbrich.org/visit/

Olbrich Biergarten at Oblrich Park: Enjoy a local brew on tap and lawn games overlooking Lake Monona. Great place to stop on your bike ride around Lake Monona! This pitstop is city run so ensure you bring your license. https://www.olbrichbiergarten.com/

Electric Bike Rentals and Trails: Great bike trails on a combination of old rail beds and low volume traffic streets if you’re up for it! Jake and Paige enjoyed making the 13 mile loop around Lake Monona using a mix of Lake Loop and Capital City trails. You’ll need to download the app and set up an account to rent. https://madison.bcycle.com/nav/map
