Our Wedding

Our Story

Deep in the Regenstein Library stacks, two undergrad students became study partners in General Chemistry. These study sessions sparked a relationship full of curiosity, joy, and adventure–one that survived both a global pandemic AND almost four years of long-distance. From fancy vacations in Napa and Banff to long nights binge-watching our favorite comfort shows over FaceTime, our relationship has always been a true friendship at its core. While Jose has taught computing skills for the humanities in Tallahassee and Puerto Rico, Sydney has hit the medical books and hospital wards in Chicago. But despite our different paths, we have done everything possible to support one another through our successes, failures, and everything in between. It has been our greatest joy to share in each other’s life journey. We are so excited to start this new chapter of our lives and relationship with all of you, our community, who have been nothing but loving and supportive of us!
