Our Wedding

We started dating our sophomore year at Hopkins High School, and our anniversary is still up for debate among friends and family. We began as close friends and over time, it slowly became more. In college, we went over our first major hurdle: long distance. COVID gave us a chance to live together with our new puppy, Cova, in Chicago and offered a break from the distance. It was a tricky time to navigate but we emerged stronger and more confident both as individuals and as a couple. After college, we spent over two months circling the US on a road trip to see as many national and state parks as possible. We covered over 11,000 miles and experienced over 20 parks! It was the trip of a lifetime and we will remember it forever. Then it was on to launching our careers, as Sylvie started prepping to apply to medical school and Isaac started work as an environmental consultant. In the past year, we have continued to expand our horizons with travel, new experiences, and time with friends and family. This has culminated in Isaac and Sylvie moving to Atlanta, GA for Sylvie's continued education at Emory Medical School. We will continue to support each other through everything and we are beyond excited to take this next step after eight years of happiness. We cannot wait to celebrate this new chapter of our story with all those closest to us! All the love, Sylvie and Isaac.
