Can't wait to celebrate all weekend long!
Colin and I met in the fall of 2017 while attending grad school at Northeastern University in Boston. We were both taking evening classes, pursuing our Masters degree in Sports Leadership, while working full time during the day. We were both new to living and working in Boston, finding adventures and chasing our dreams. Rewind a bit, I am originally from Naperville, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago, and graduated from Naperville North High School. I then attended Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, and was a member of the Women’s Soccer team. Colin is originally from Berlin, Connecticut, and graduated from Berlin High School. He attended Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts and was a member of the Baseball team. Sports are obviously a passion and major part of both of our lives, so it was only fitting that we met while “studying” sports post-grad. While our friendship began in 2017, we didn’t begin dating until 2020. Our first date was at the Sail Loft in the North End, a fun local spot with great seafood. We now live together in Charlestown, our favorite Boston neighborhood. Over the years we’ve shared our love of sports - beers at all types of games around the country and of course a healthy Red Sox-Yankees rivalry - and other great memories in Boston, Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and beyond. For years I worked at Fenway Sports Management, which gave Colin and me opportunities to attend amazing games and concerts at Fenway. I now work for another sports agency, Elevate, and Colin works as a PE Teacher at Lawrence School in Brookline and as the Assistant Varsity Baseball Coach for Brookline High School. We love living in Boston, spending time with friends, playing, coaching and watching sports, and experiencing all that New England has to offer together. We are so excited to celebrate our wedding back in the suburbs of Chicago where I grew up, with all of our friends and family!
