Our Wedding

It all started on the 6B floor of the dorm, Sellery at UW-Madison. Courtney lived on one side of the elevators and Paul lived on the other side of the elevators. It wasn't until a couple of months into dorm-living that we started venturing to the other sides to mingle. Court and Paul easily got along and began going to some 'extracurricular events' and Badger games with friends on the weekends. Soon enough, Paul even began joining Courtney and her brother, Tyler at Group Strength classes at the Serf. Nothing came of our friendship until Sophomore year when we had a class together that Fall. This meant class 2x/week together and more study groups. More weekends of Badger games and 'extra curricular events' turned into something more than a friendship. After weeks of hanging out and watching lots of The Office together, we decided to finally make it official right after the awkwardness of Valentine's Day on February 18th, 2017. And who can forget, the first time we told each other we were in love, was nothing better than on Mifflin that year! Fast forward to more than 4 years later....after completing our undergrad together and 2 years of long distance with Paul working as a nurse at Mayo in Rochester, MN and Courtney going to grad school in the Twin Cities for Speech-Language Pathology...Courtney and Paul headed on their yearly vacation to Lakewoods Resort in Cable, WI with all of Courtney's extended family. Since Paul began coming on the trip in 2017, we would go to brunch-just the two of us-to a cute cafe in downtown Cable called the Brickhouse Cafe (not to mention, Guy Fierri has been there, so you know it's delicious). We always ordered the same thing and sat outside on the patio. On Monday, June 28th, 2021, brunch wasn't so much the same. Paul requested we sit as far away from other people as possible outside. When our food came, he was acting all suspicious and went inside to "use the restroom." When he came back to the table, he got down on one knee and asked Courtney to marry him. Courtney even forgot to say "YES!" she was so in shock. It was so intimate and private-which Paul loved. Once back to the resort, we surprised everyone (a secret only Paul's family knew). The day consisted of lots of celebrating, pasta night, and more celebrating with the family that night at the resort bar. It was such a blast and a memory we will never forget! (So in the end...the biggest shoutout goes to UW-Madison's automatic room generator that brought us together on the floor of Sellery 6B).

Our Story

Photos of Courtney & Paul

Photos

Paul's older brother. Even through the frequent harassment and teasing from Matt, Paul always wanted to be like his brother and followed in his footsteps in playing the same sports, wearing the same #20, and going to college at UW-Madison. Hoping he takes it easy on me during the Best Man speech.

Matt Cyr

Courtney's older brother. Tyler and Courtney have been tight since they were kids, spending summers with hours on the trampoline, making cyclones in the swimming pool, and drinking as much soda as possible. Courtney always wanting to be just like Tyler-doing tennis, show choir, and going to Madison for college. They became even closer once they moved in together during COVID in the Twin Cities and now spend many weekends together hiking, skiing, and trying out new restaurants.

Tyler Wagner

Childhood friend of Paul's. They were in the same first grade class and haven't separated since.  Grew up playing hockey together, unfortunately not on the same team or line often since Jake was a much better goal scorer. Also made annual trips to the Boundary Waters together.

Jake Dravis

Courtney's friend from college at UW-Madison. Rach lived on the same floor as Courtney her Freshman year, 6B. We became close throughout college since living together Sophomore through Senior year. We did everything together, from going to the gym together, to working at Coldstone, to moped rides. Rach and I have been through it all together!

Rachel Schmitz

Childhood friend of Paul's. They met in 6th grade through mutual friends and were on the same baseball team for many years where they were warm up catch partners before every game.

Jackson Miller

Courtney's oldest childhood friend from Milton, WI. Cally and I became friends in 7th grade and have stuck together since! She and I have had so many memories together from dress up days in her basement and as high school tennis partners, to going to Madison for college  together and recruiting me to work at Coldstone with her. We are now in a long distance friendship with her all the way in Denver, CO :(

Cally Dittmann

Childhood friend of Paul's. They met in 6th grade through mutual friends and were on high school baseball teams together. Often played street basketball outside Brady's house.

Brady Boysen

Courtney's friend from college at UW-Madison. Grace ended up living on the same floor Freshman year by an immense amount of luck - as she was originally living in the communal den. We ended up living together both Junior and Senior year of college once we convinced her to ditch sorority life. We've had many snuggles, long chats, and nights out together.

Grace McCune

Childhood friend of Paul's. They became neighbors in 2nd grade and hung out after school most days, often going climbing in a tree in Paul's yard. We were on youth football teams together where Ross was running back and Paul was quarterback. 

Ross Faber

Courtney's cousin (3rd cousins to be exact). Jayce and I have truly been best friends since birth - being only 4 months apart. We've spent so many hours playing tag and singing our hearts out in my grandma's basement to dreaming about our future husbands together (and here we both are!). I am so lucky to have a built-in best friend like her.

Jaycie Goddard

College friend of the Paul's. They were on the same freshman year dorm floor. Many memories were made over those 4 years, especially at Jordan's Big 10 Pub on Regent Street. 

Ian Berner

Courtney's younger (and probably smarter) sister. Ash and I spent almost our entire lives together as roommates until Tyler FINALLY went to college and we got our own rooms. We share a love for good music, Broadway, and helping others in our career (Ash as a future School Psychologist!). Not to mention, it is great to have someone to share clothes with!

Ashley Wagner

College friend of the Paul's. They were freshman year roommates after a strong connection was made on a roommate finder Facebook page. Jordan and I attended almost every Badger football game together and were on an intramural hockey team together.

Jordan Mazzara

Courtney's friend from graduate school at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. We became instant friends when we needed a familiar face to room with for grad school-after Cally initially introduced us in Madison. Mattie has been an amazing person to have 15 min away to have wine with and vent about working with kiddos as a Speech-Language Pathologist...even saving me when I sprained my ankle at work!

Mattie Dehaven

Hometown friend of Paul's. Max lived in the same neighborhood as Paul and often had many sleepovers. Now they make an annual trip to Max's cabin each summer.

Max Burns

Courtney's friend through Max Burns (Paul's hometown friend). We became close quickly during COVID, spending many weekends together for double dates and getting through puppy parenting together! Our pups Colby and Hank are now best friends too :)

Bri Mayer

Hometown friend of Paul's. They became friends in middle school through similar friend groups and the same football teams. Now they often hit the golf course together each summer.

Adam Herzog

College friend of Courtney's since freshman year at UW-Madison. Amy was our adopted 6B floor member in Sellery, as we instantly got along when she ventured over from her lame dorm. Amy and I got close after spending endless Madison weekends together for Badger game days, Monona Terrace dates, and card/board game nights.

Amy Zellman

Paul and Courtney's niece (Matt and Emma Cyr's daughter). She is our first niece, and of course the star of the show no matter where we are. We knew she would make the cutest flower girl on our wedding day, as she has such an outgoing and joyful personality.
