Stephen & Molly

September 15, 2024 • Milwaukee, WI, USA

And then we matched....

Stephen & Molly were students at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater but never met until over a decade later when they matched online.


Their first date was at a place that locals call the "Tiki Bar" in the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee. For hours they chatted under ambient lighting and drinks. It was love at first sight!

They made their relationship "official" after a night out with their friends for Halloween. It's their favorite holiday!

They started a new holiday tradition together by honoring the Winter Solstice and lighting a yule log. Each year, Stephen & Molly set words to carry them through the coming winter and beyond. Cece joined them in the tradition and Hokey Pokey will as well when they are all under one roof in December!

Trying new things is important to them. Stephen organized a paint & sip date. His painting was the winner and it will be hung up in their house someday!

Stephen got to meet Molly's extended family for the first time! They celebrated the birthdays of Molly's mother "Deb" and uncle "Kurt" in Neenah, WI. It was a fun time of ice skating and pizza!

They found their wedding venue! Since they knew right away that they would be life partners, they started planning their big day early. After careful consideration, they concluded that Story Hill Firehouse was the perfect venue for their wedding!

Their first summer together was full of fun adventures. They even were able to go visit Molly's sister in Superior, WI to celebrate their baby nephew Drew's birthday and baptism. They also spent plenty of time in Molly's hometown of Neenah, WI to see sunflower fields (Stephen's favorite!) and celebrate Molly's mother's retirement.

Even though they had already started planning their wedding, Stephen surprised Molly by proposing on the Milwaukee Art Museum bridge at sunset. Molly said "of course!" when Stephen asked to continue their journey together forever!
