Maggie and Patrick's first date was at "Prost!" German Beer Hall in Chicago after meeting on Hinge in November 2019. Patrick had caught Maggie's attention on the dating app with a skillfully-placed childhood photo of him wearing a Green Bay Packers jersey. The cuteness quickly wore off when he ate most of the pretzel and drank too much beer. He even asked to hang out the very next day. Despite Maggie's early misgivings, she stuck around. But her attempts to "take it slow" were undermined when the small-group nature of the pandemic forced them into spending almost all of their free time together, much to Patrick's delight. Even so, their relationship would survive his early eagerness, as well as Patrick giving Maggie COVID (OG strain) and Maggie breaking Patrick’s ankle in the Metaverse on Christmas night 2021. It's now clear early adversity made their relationship stronger, and they soon found themselves raising the world's cutest dog and moving to Milwaukee together in June 2022 to be closer to work - Maggie for her surgical residency at MCW and Patrick for his shareholder duties as Packers part-owner. Fully acclimated to being Wisconsinites 18 months later, Maggie and Patrick can't wait to celebrate their wedding with amazing friends and family in their favorite place: Door County!
