Mary and Connor met at Lake Forest College, brought together by countless hours at the campus hockey rink, she on the women’s team, he on the men’s. What started as a solid friendship (and occasional competitive banter) grew over the years, and by junior year, they officially became a couple. After graduating in 2020, they moved to Chicago, where they navigated city life together before settling in Michigan in 2023. These days, they enjoy cheering on their favorite hockey teams, traveling often to New England to visit Mary’s family and spoiling their two-year-old dog, Rory, who runs a tight (and adorable) household. Their story has always been about good timing, shared passions, and a lot of laughter along the way and they are beyond excited to celebrate with all their loved ones.
