Our Wedding

Once upon a time in downtown Toledo, two friends named Maddy and Brandon stumbled upon each other, destined to become much more than just friends. At first, their bond was forged over shared soccer games and endless hangouts with friends. But as life continued to unfold, so did their connection. They both shared a passion for living in the heart of the city (lol), an affinity for dogs, and an impressive ability to find the best spots for a cold beer. Their bond was further strengthened as they relied on each other during the rigorous adventure of medical school. Amidst the stress and late-night study sessions, Maddy and Brandon found themselves spending more and more time together. They discovered they had a knack for corny jokes, a mutual love for bourbon, and a surprising talent for raising a stuffed gallbladder like it was their own child. Yes, you read that right! Their lives became even more colorful with the arrival of Olive, their lovable golden retriever. Olive quickly became the star of the show, accompanying them everywhere—from dog-friendly bars to impromptu adventures. As their careers in dermatology and orthopedic surgery began to take shape, they decided it was time to take another exciting step together: buying their first home in Springfield, Ohio. But their story doesn’t end there. Their family grew with the addition of Pepper, a spirited Great Dane who has brought even more joy and a touch of mischief to their lives. Now, their days are filled with watching sports, sipping fine bourbons, and basking in the warmth of family time with their two lovable pups. As we count down the days to September 2025, we’re thrilled to share this special milestone with all of you. Here’s to celebrating love, laughter, and a lifetime of adventures together! With love,Maddy &amp; Brandon
