Nick and Molly met the old fashioned way....at a bar! Nick was in Chicago visiting his brothers and going to a Bulls game over St. Patrick's Day weekend 2022. They were invited by JP's wife Stephanie to a brunch at her friend Stephanie's apartment (2 Stephanie's!). Little did they know this was also Molly's apartment. Molly, though, was not in attendance at her own brunch, as she was proctoring the SAT (classic!). She joined the group later at the Roscoe Village Pub. As luck would have it, there was an open seat at a table next to a ruggedly handsome (read: gangly and outgoing) Nick. Molly joined and Nick was immediately struck by not only her beautiful smile and dimples, but her infectious bubbly energy. Molly says Nick "piqued her interest" too. They spent most of the afternoon talking and laughing together. Their connection was apparent to others, as when the Sullivans left, Nick’s sister-in-law Stephanie immediately asked, “Soooo Nick, what do we think of Molly??” Molly had already planned to visit friends in Madison 2 weeks after that, and they decided to meet up again. A great brunch and lakefront walk ensued. Having family and loved ones in each other's cities made for an easy excuse to keep visiting and spending time together. And the rest, as they say, is history!
