Brittany and Steve met the modern way: by swiping right on a dating app (swoon!) in 2017. Although they never met before, they may have crossed paths many times through the years! They both grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, Steve in Schaumburg, IL, and Brittany in Lisle, IL. They both went to the University of Illinois where Brittany majored in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Steve majored in Actuarial Science. After graduation, they both moved to the same neighborhood in Chicago! Their first date was a bit of a disaster – they got lost while taking a stroll after dinner and ended up walking through random people’s backyards and a reservoir full of mosquitos! Their second date went much smoother (thank god) and they’ve been together ever since. Brittany and Steve currently live in Palatine, IL, with their most important family member, Pinot! (see picture below!). Brittany is in the middle of her third year in medical school and Steve is working as an Internal Consultant with Merrill Lynch. We’re so excited for you to join us as we say “I do” on October 1, 2022.
