Bridesmaid
I met Christine in grad school at the University of Houston. I moved to Houston right in the middle of the pandemic not knowing a single person, and Christine and I became fast friends! She made me feel right at home in an entirely new environment across the country, and she has been there for me through thick and thin ever since. It also helped that we share the same name! #ChristineSquared!! My favorite memory is when we had our weekly cocktail and Bachelor viewing nights after German choir!!

Christine and Elizabeth met in the depths of Arkansas in the midst of COVID. Trapped in a summer opera program with plywood sliding doors and un-airconditioned practice rooms, they sang their hearts out but their paths never fully crossed. When Christine and Teddy moved to Chicago, Elizabeth and Christine quickly bonded over their love of happy hour, public transportation, and exploring their city. They have been attached at the hip ever since! Stay tuned for the release of their podcast... Bridesmaid Elizabeth loves happy hour, opera, drinking wine, and her friends. She grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, moved to Tallahassee, Florida for her masters in opera performance, and now happily lives in Chicago where she sings, jaunts, and lives her dreams.

Despite growing up 15 minutes from each other, Stephen and Christine first met each other at tragic callbacks for a doomed college a-cappella group, and would later live together as roommates for two years. Through their shared love of Coldplay, questionably-aging Rom-Coms, and all things operatic and musically theatrical, they grew inseparable. While Stephen is slightly disappointed that Christine and Teddy’s upcoming nuptials do not involve the Las Vegas Taco Bell marriage package, he is overjoyed to celebrate Christine’s casual migration to Chicago, her beloved city, and a love that uplifts her in the way she deserves.

I’m Shay! I’m currently based in Woodstock GA, but I met our lovely bride in Sandy Springs. We both were theatre nerds searching for high school that accepted them. Christine thinks we met when we were children at a birthday party and I cannot argue that as she has an amazing memory. But I remember first meeting her on our bus rides from a local high school to our performing arts high school. We would sit in the front row of the school bus and listen to musicals on our commute to school. She has been my first call for musical critics, movie reviews, and free therapy ever since.

Caroline met Christine during the first week of high school, at auditions for the fall play. Although neither girl was cast, the curtains did rise on the start of a beautiful friendship. After 4 years of high school they decided that wasn’t enough time torturing each other, so they ended up at FSU together, where their shenanigans continued into adulthood. Caroline first met Teddy while visiting Christine in grad school, and knew she had found a really special guy.
