Our Wedding

Our story began over a decade ago in middle school.We first met when we were just 12 years old. We briefly "dated" and shared some memorable moments before ultimately staying good friends throughout high school. We were always in the same circle of friends, bonding over our shared love for lacrosse and having a good time. We even both won "Most Talkative" in the yearbook—I'm sure you're all surprised by that!As graduation approached, we headed off to different colleges to pursue our dreams and continue playing lacrosse. Life got busy, and we lost touch for a while, only crossing paths every now and then in Wildwood, NJ, or when Brendan would visit friends at West Chester.It wasn't until the summer of 2020, when fate intervened at Castaways (better known as the pirate ship bar) in Wildwood, NJ, that we reconnected. Brendan somehow convinced Sydney to join his family on a spontaneous vacation to Gettysburg for Halloween in 2020. Sydney's friends quickly noticed Brendan's interest, but Sydney was convinced they were just friends. That is, until they arrived in Gettysburg and Brendan’s entire family— aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins—literally the whole family—was there. Sydney realized her friends had probably been right all along.After that memorable trip, we stayed connected, seeing each other whenever we could manage with our busy schedules. Finally, on December 1, 2020, we officially started dating, realizing that what we have is something special—it was only a matter of time.On February 10, 2024, the day after Sydney's birthday, Brendan surprised her with a proposal, and she said yes!Thank you for being a part of our story. We're excited to celebrate our love and commitment with all of you as we begin this next chapter together.
