Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Patrick - Okay, folks, here's how the story goes. Coming out of her Spring Rome semester, Margaret was excited to begin her Junior year at UD. Patrick (after a brief stint in seminary) was also very pumped to go back to UD with his newfound vision for finding a wife. In short, about 3 days into the semester Patrick caught sight of Margaret in the UD chapel and was gobsmacked. She does not remember this. Patrick does not care that she does not remember this. No seriously, he doesn't care. He does not care. In all seriousness, however, Patrick remained curious about Margaret - who was this super beautiful girl that was faithful, smart, and kind but also both reserved and outgoing? He wanted to pursue her, but figured that he was doomed to fail. What he did not realize, however, was that the best possible thing he could do was give this woman an acorn. Somehow, this did wonders for his odds and might be the sole reason that he actually accomplished reeling in the fish. Margaret - From Margaret's perspective, Patrick Sullivan was the guy who walked around barefoot freshman year, had the best smile on campus, was way out of her league and definitely just wanted to be friends. When she told him that she didn't like Aquinas she had no idea how much that must have shocked him. Focused on classes, because Margaret is a total nerd, she kept wondering why he was studying with her and following her to the Capp bar and complimenting her (Patrick's interjection: he also would follow her out of the chapel).Slowly Margaret began to catch feels and panicked, thinking, "wait this guy is actually amazing and I have no reason to say no if he asks me out. Dear Jesus, is this what you want? I thought I was going to be a nun??" However, Jesus loves Margaret and Patrick dearly so He was like "Margaret - trust me." Finally, after days and days and days of waiting, Patrick asked for Margaret's number. Patrick - Eventually (on October 15th), Patrick asked Margaret out. To which he for the first time noticed just how honest Margaret was when she responded, "ew no". Just kidding. She actually responded with her classic "heeheeheehee" excited giggle and gave him a hug. It was epic. Shortly after this Patrick was pretty excited and may or may not have been kindly reprimanded by an RA (who happened to be one of Margaret's besties) for being way too loud outside of a dorm. What was to follow were some amazing dates, many of which consisted of Waffle House waffles and frigid Lake Grapevine waters. Margaret - The rest of our story is way too blessed and full of grace to share in words. We love you all; please keep us in your prayers now and forever :)

A favorite coffee shop in town:) Right down the road from the church, a two minute walk!

Tazza Cafe

If you have kids they will absolutely love this - you can pet jelly fish and stingrays, watch seals get fed, and see some epic sharks up close. (Margaret took Patrick here and he still talks about the sharks)

The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk

You won't really understand it until you experience it but I promise you've never been to a store like Stew Leonard's. If you do go make sure to get an ice-cream cone on your way out.

Stew Leonard's

An old mansion with beautiful grounds turned into a public park. Great picnic spot!

Waveny Park

Hiking/Walking Parks 

If you like hiking there are some wonderful parks, although they are a bit further of a drive.Devil's Den Nature Preserve and Ward Pound Ridge Reservation are two beautiful options.If you're looking for more of a nature stroll, Irwin Park and the New Canaan Nature Center are good choices.
