Our Wedding

Their story begins in our 8th grade year at Rapid Run Middle School. As seen in the photos section they knew of each other at this time starting with their trip to Washington DC. Macy claims her first real experience with Trent was watching him solve his Rubiks Cube on the plane and being in awe of his sheer intelligence and skills. Trent may exaggerate that last bit. but there is a nugget of truth there regarding their time together. This time allowed the two of them to exchange contact information and begin texting and getting to know each other more. Unfortunately, Trent was blind to this relationship and things did not pan out for a couple years. That was until Trent got wise and reached out again to see if Macy would give him a chance again. Luckily for Trent she did! This was sophomore year at Oak Hills High School and the true start of their love. They talked for about 100 days (this was their snap streak when Trent decided to ask Macy out) and then the question came: Will you be my Chic?. Trent worked at Chick-Fil-A and when he wanted to ask Macy out he wrote that question on a nugget box to be delivered to her by hand. Luckily Macy was feeling generous that day and told Trent she would love to be his girlfriend. This start to an amazing relationship is nothing short of cheesy but something Trent is proud of and something Macy cherishes to this day. High school was fun for these two. They did sports together, they had dances together, they shared a friend group, and best of all they had great families to help them learn to grow together and into young adults. Graduating high school together was a special experience and the first of many big milestones they have shared. Following high school they both went to the University of Cincinnati and grew closer and stronger together. Having each other in a new world was beneficial as they had someone to lean on no matter what and pushed them to learn how to problem solve together, along with other life lessons. Trent and Macy thoroughly enjoyed college together. Doing all the football games, fraternity events, and overall learning and growing as adults. Living on their own was a fun new experience and even taught Trent how to do the dishes, sorta. Trent had one other special event he wanted to organize for Macy and that was to Lavalier her at his fraternity. This is the process of giving up your letters to the woman you love. He had to convince his fraternity to approve this motion (which was not hard because everyone loved Macy and knew they would marry someday). The fraternity approved and Trent had the honor of singing to her at the Nashville formal to ask her to accept this honor. This was such a fun experience for these two as they furthered their bond and showed the world their intentions. As they went on to hit yet another milestone (graduating college) a lot more of life came into question. Trent and Macy for the first time had no true next step and could make any decision they wanted. They decided to move to Covington and Trent followed his father and brother into the software field while Macy utilized her psychology degree to go into the social work field. This decision was made with the thought in mind that Macy would soon follow her dream of being a flight attendant. As they lived in Covington and learned to live together Trent finally got Macys approval to think about engagement. Trent had wanted to for a long time but they waited for life to be a little more stable. Trent bought a ring and asked Chris (Macys father) for his blessing on their marriage. He was ecstatic to hear this news and gave his blessing over a nice dinner. The news was soon followed but Macy getting her break as a Flight Attendant as she was offered a job at American Airlines starting ASAP. This was an interesting test on their relationship since Macy had to leave for 6 weeks to live and train in Dallas, TX. Trent continued to work and talk when he could but she was busy and focusing on this important time in her life. Trent was always so proud to hear her succeed and push her to get through this tough training. She excelled and graduated in June which marked the start of a new adventure! Macy was informed two weeks prior to graduation that she would be based in Charlotte, NC. This move would be big for these two as they have never lived more than a stones throw away from home. This decision to move together embodies their belief in each other and the fact that they are always a team. It is one of their favorite traits of their relationship. Moving to Charlotte has had its own challenges the same as switching jobs, but they have each other and that is all that matters. The latest milestone in their lives has been getting engaged. It was a beautiful engagement in Macys favorite place on Earth, Cannon Beach. OR. Macy has visited the Oregon coast her whole life to visit her family from Washington state. Many family members made the trip for this surprise engagement including most of Macys moms side, Trents parents, Macys dad and step-mom, and her step-brother Jake and his girlfriend Kate. It was so special and so kind of everyone to take their time to celebrate these two as they marked yet another fantastic milestone. Life has been good to these two and the reason is nothing else other than their amazing families. Trent and Macy are so excited to have everyone join them on their special day and cant wait to add another milestone to their list!

Nick is my oldest brother and the leader of the McGinnis brother clan. He is a strong, loyal, loving and most of all supportive. I know he has my back no matter what and I am blessed to have him as a role model in my life. He is my catholic role model as well and the reason I got confirmed in the church. He pushes me to be a better man in my life and guides me in my journey with Jesus. I appreciate all he has done for me and thank God every day for his hand in my journey towards faith.

Nick McGinnis

Ben is my second brother who is the hardest worker that I know. He is the reason I was “little McGinnis” in high school. I was always in his shadow and expectations were high for me because of him. It may have seemed like a bad thing but because the shoes were so large and the expectations were high it forced me to try harder and harder. I attribute any grit I may have picked up to his mentorship and I am forever grateful for that.

Ben McGinnis

Ryan is my youngest brother. He has a heart of gold and will do anything for anyone. He is very strong willed and we don’t always get along but I know that he will support me no matter what. He has taught me much throughout the years but the one lesson I always thank him for is kindness and compassion. He makes me realize that there needs to be more love in the world and I strive to be like him by treating everyone with love and kindness.

Ryan McGinnis

Logan is Macy’s younger brother. He knows how to have fun and how to be the silliest person in the room. You can’t interact with logan and not walk away smiling. He is like his father Chris in that regard, and in many other ways. Dating Macy for so long allowed me the privilege of seeing him grow into an amazing young man. He has big aspirations and I am excited to see what he accomplishes in this world.

Logan Pitchford

Jake is Macy’s step-brother and a high school friend of mine. It was great to grow up and be in a friend group with him and his girlfriend Kate. Jake has always been so welcoming and kind to me both in our school interactions and at home. Him and Kate have such an amazing future together and I am excited to see how the four of us continue to grow up together. 

Jake Rice

Logan is Karis’ boyfriend and was a teammate of mine in high school sports. I knew Vick before he was in the family and it has been a treat to grow into adulthood together. Vick was always a fantastic athlete and I think that translate well into his relationships and life. Being and athlete you have to commit 100% with every step and he does that with Karis and us, his family. His support and brotherhood means the world to me.

Logan Vickrey

Ethan is one of my college best friends. He was Macys neighbor first, but I swiftly made it my priority to make him one of my best friends. He is someone who gets an idea in their head and drives 110% until he reaches it. Not only this but he is so kind and works well with people to get that vision of his to be successful. He taught me much in college and I always enjoyed our late night talks. His love and support have shaped me into the person I am today and I am forever grateful for that.

Ethan Shepard

Jack is one of my college best friends. He lived in my dorm building freshman year and was in my rush class at my fraternity. He is one of the smartest people that I know and I know if I need something from him he will work until he has a solution. His advice is as good as gold and was a great help as we led our fraternity together (me as president and him as treasurer). I wouldn’t have made it though that position, a position that has taught me much about being a leader, without him. I am forever grateful for his brotherhood.

Jack Moskowitz

Luke is one of my college best friends. He is someone who truly taught me what it means to let go and just enjoy life. He is an avid outdoors man and that truly embodies what he has taught me. Being outdoors is about letting go and experiencing the world with serenity and peace. Luke always brought me that peace and comfort in college and I am thankful for that as it truly made me be able to get through the hardest of times (being president, being away from family, having fun when I was anxious). He is someone that will talk to you for hours and every word is comforting. 

Luke Brodke

Dan is one of my college best friends. He always has some of either the funniest stuff you have ever heard or some of the best advice. He is an analytical person and is always thinking of how to make the world better. I love hearing his thoughts and hearing how he sees the world. He was a great confidant in college and someone I often sought out when I needed to vent or just get through something emotionally.
