Taylor and Allie’s story starts during sorority recruitment the first week of her freshman year at DePaul University.

While some may consider this dirty rushing.. for Taylor, it was love at first sight. TEN years & several cities later (Chicago, LA, NYC) they always find their way back to each other. Next stop, NC!

Tyler quite literally walked into Dimitri's life one summer day on the DePaul quad. Ever since that moment, Tyler has been the little brother that Dimitri never wanted. Attached at the hip, we’ve done it all together. Dimitri can confidently say his fondest and worst memories at DePaul, Tyler has been a crucial part of them and he wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s been an honor to call Tyler his brother, and an even greater privilege to see the man he has grown into. Some might call Dimitri, Cupid, because little do some know, he takes great responsibility in setting this beautiful couple up. He was able to really build a relationship with Allie during their time basically being the illuminati of fraternity/ sorority life. One day when Allie and Dimitri were gossiping in our “exclusive” office, he invited Tyler to come join them. The two met, and the rest was history. He feels so lucky to know this power couple, and can’t wait for the next chapter of their story.

Tyler first met Jack junior year of college, through a mutual friend. When Jack met Tyler, he was nothing more than a GDI with delusions of grandeur as a DePaul greenhorn. It was Tyler who ushered in an era of virtue, diligence, and brotherly love…Tyler and Jack have been best buds ever since. It was the lesson of love, one of Tyler’s teachings, that guided Jack throughout college and beyond. He taught Jack that if you have one shot, one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted. One moment. That he should capture it and not let it slip! Even though Tyler admittedly has a substantially lacking golf swing compared to Jack, he still considers Tyler one of his best friends and LIFELONG BROTHER!!! Jack is honored to stand by Tyler’s side, as he enters the next chapter of life with Allie, his LIFELONG LOVE!!! (She’s alright)

Jeremy was unable to meet Tyler during the early stages of Allie/Tyler dating due to his sister (Allie) telling him multiple times that he was not able to meet Tyler “just yet”. Jeremy even thought Tyler was a fictional character at one point. After they met (in person) Jeremy and Tyler hit it off right away. One of their first memories together was playing a basketball game - Jeremy noticed Tyler had the scrappiness and competitive spirit that he loved to see. Not a lot of people know, but Jeremy and Tyler once went to the SigEp house at UNC and took on two young carolina women’s students in a game of beer pong and came away with a huge victory. Jeremy is so excited about being neighbors with his new brother in Chicago and looking forward to more golf trips, family vacations, and just being around each other enjoying each others company. Can't wait to officially welcome you to the family, Tyler!

It was love at first sight when Tyler and Joe met at the bar (RIP Clutch) a few years ago. Their friendship grew while discussing sports and drinking heavily on the weekends. They discovered a special bond when they put on their gaming headsets - where Joe taught Tyler the in and outs of Chel. Their friendship grew stronger and stronger over the past couples years. It was a very late friendship but an extremely powerful one that blossomed into what it is today. They even ended up putting on skates and playing hockey together. Joe could not be more excited to be by Tyler’s side for his special wedding day.

Keenan and Tyler met during fraternity recruitment week of Keenan’s first year at DePaul University, where a casual nod and “Sup Keenz” from Tyler made Keenan realize this group of SigEp guys would be a great fit for him to hang out with. These two bonded throughout their college years over similar interests in sports and their competitive spirit for all games and intramural activities. In fact, to this day there’s yet to be a more dynamic duo when it comes to a game of bags (or any 2v2 backyard sport for that matter). As they continue to grow and develop in their professional careers, Keenan and Tyler will always push each other to be the best versions of themselves.

Kevin met Tyler “The Frat God” Freeland during his freshman year at DePaul while rushing SigEp. During that time you could find them (Allie included) at Kelly’s Pub every Monday doing “homework” and eating 25c wings. Their friendship formed over the years playing beer die, Texas Hold’em, and Halo. If you are lucky enough to find Kevin and Tyler in the wild now - it would likely be at either Topo Gigio tossing back dirty martinis, golfing at Idlewild, or playing Xbox with the boys. Although Kevin and Tyler have shared many unforgettable memories together, Kevin is excited to be part of this very special day for Tyler and Allie!

In the beginning was the Game, and the Game was with Tyler. Tyler was Paul’s Miyagi. He helped Paul in his aspirations of becoming anything but a Bronze Four. They went from steaktaculars and gabagools to slayin’ opps in drop tops for Chicken Dinners. Intellectual headset chatter soon after evolved into to physical touch. It evolved into mutually contributing to the early onset arthritis of blue cheese olive stuffing barkeeps at Topo Gigio. It evolved into getting their pump in at East Bank Club followed by consensual disrobing for a shvitz. Paul was extremely happy to hear that Tyler chose Allie over Dua Lipa. The moment he became confident in their future together was when he witnessed Allie sweep Tyler from his seat for a dance and a sweat at Kingston Mines. The rest is written in the stone.
