Our Wedding

Well, if you had to ask Therese, it's probably more of a star-crossed fate sort of thing. To another, it's happenstance, but at the end of the day, Maddy had a big fat crush on Therese for 6 months before getting the courage to ask her out. We first met at the orientation for our first year teaching at Bolingbrook High School. Maddy included the fact that she liked D&amp;D on her welcome email and Therese, desperate for friends, put that she liked it too. Immediately, a friendship bloomed with a mutual love of teaching, music, and whole host of nerdy things. Maddy invited Therese to co-sponsor the D&amp;D club at school with her and their friend, Kristian. This was Maddy's not-so-subtle way of getting to spend more time with Therese. In March of 2022, completely oblivious to Maddy's infatuation, Therese invited her to go to a Mistki concert in Milwaukee with her friends. Months of pining finally paid off when Maddy asked Therese out at the end of the trip, and the first date at Mud &amp; Char Cafe was set!

How We Met

After that first date, both of us knew there was something special. Dates turned into hanging out all day. Maddy spent far more time at Therese's tiny studio than her own two bedroom apartment. Finally, we moved in together officially in August of 2023 and in October, we adopted our lovely boy, Fig! The sweetest and silliest cat in the world filled our home and our hearts with even more love than we knew was possible. We both proposed on May 25th, 2024 in New Buffalo, Michigan. It was everything we wanted and more. The success of a surprise engagement party was the icing on the cake. We really are on cloud nine.

EnGAYged!

Therese's Bridal Party

Alice Isais

Celi is so excited to support the happy couple on their wedding day and all the years to come. 

Araceli Lazzari

The sister of the ages, Maggie has been a constant force of joy, fiery optimism, and totally not taller than Therese. Since that fateful day in October of 2005, Maggie had been the best sister anyone could ask for. When not galavanting across Europe she is a dedicated aunt to Fig, star student at University College Dublin, and all around stand-out human being. She is so excited to support her big sister on her big day!

A true member of the criterion collection of friends Olivia and Therese have stood by each others’ sides since the 6th grade.

Madelyn's Bridal Party 

Nora is Maddy's older cousin and built-in best friend. Nora is a genius when it comes to design, fashion, and throwing a killer party. With her attention to detail and loving care she puts into all she does, she was a no-brainer for Maid of Honor!

Nora Quinlan

Abby is Maddy's younger cousin (by only 6 months!) and dear friend! Being so close in age, the two were inseparable at family gatherings and could always be found playing and scheming together. Abby has always been one of the biggest supporters and cheerleaders even as she goes on and does amazing things!

Abby Gut

Always the life of any party, Maddy's cousin, Caraline, was an absolute must in the bridal party. As they've grown older, Maddy and Caraline have only become closer over a mutual love of good food, good music, and bad TV shows. Caraline will definitely be on the dancefloor all night to keep the party going!

Caraline Quinlan

Chris is Natali's loving husband and one of the couple's dearest friends. Whether sharing documentaries, books about bread, or regaling you with farming facts, Chris is an engaging conversationalist and a lifelong friend.

Chris Nemec

Jessica is Maddy's college (and post-college!) roommate and volleyball teammate. They instantly clicked as soon as they met and became fast friends on and off the court. Jessica's sunny personality and immense talent in SO much (volleyball, cooking, florals, cat mom, etc.) has always been an inspiration.

Jessica Gezik

Referring to Megan as merely our coworker would not do her friendship justice, as this is a kinship worth mentioning! Megan became fast friends with the couple through a mutual love of D&D and they've been inseparable ever since! Aside from her role as Fig's favorite aunt, Megan is an amazing friend who quickly cemented her role as Maddy's sister in every way that counts. She has been a constant support for the couple every step of the way. 

Megan Schneidau

Sharon is one of Maddy's oldest and closest friends from high school and they've remained close as they both pursued careers in education. Sharon brings a bright energy and deep love into every aspect of her life and the people who meet her can instantly tell. The couple is thrilled to have their sweet and loyal friend stand with them on this special day.
