Our Story

2/20/2017

Welcome to the wedding website of Henry Redman and Claire Stoddard! Henry and Claire arrived at Loyola University Chicago as freshmen in 2015. They met in San Francisco Hall, where Henry lived on the 2nd floor and Claire on the 4th. At her orientation earlier that summer, Claire had met (future groomsman) Kyle — who happened to live two doors down from Henry. It was in Kyle’s room that the two of them met for the first time. A year and a half later, Claire had just returned from a semester abroad in Rome and there was a party at their friend Owen’s apartment. At that party the two of them finally concluded they couldn’t be apart. For their first date, despite Claire’s lactose intolerance, Henry took her to Cheesies, a place which mostly just serves grilled cheese. Through the rest of their time at Loyola, often over a $2.50 Schlitz at their favorite neighborhood bar, Cunneen’s, Henry and Claire fell in love. During their time as Ramblers, Claire notched a surprise third-party victory during the presidential election of Henry’s apartment; Henry won the wine cork home run derby in Claire’s apartment and there was one Sunday in which they ate an obscene amount of pie. Together, Claire and Henry have climbed mountains in Colorado, skied while overlooking Lake Superior, visited a museum celebrating all things Mack semi-trucks and dealt with Henry's motion sickness all over the world — from Cleveland to the Pacific Ocean. After graduating college in 2019, Henry and Claire moved to Madison, Wisconsin. Since moving to the Dairy State, Henry has provided moral support and inspirational speeches while Claire trains for and competes in endurance races and Claire has gotten somewhat used to Henry carrying his camera around all the time — even if she often shows a certain finger to the lens. In 2020, the couple rescued their dog Elliot. Claire can often be found antagonizing her while Halsey is blasting and Henry cooks dinner. Since they started dating, the Packers have gone 10-1 against the Bears. In January 2021, Henry asked the wedding officiant Bridget to host a party in Chicago as an excuse to get Claire to the city. Along the way, the couple was supposed to stop near Loyola to meet Claire’s brother (future groomsman) Ian and his girlfriend (future bridesmaid) Remy for lunch. Instead, it was all a ruse to get Claire on campus so Henry could propose at the place they met. She never would have known it was coming if Henry hadn’t gotten super weird and stolen her sweater. After Claire agreed to become a Redman, they walked to Cunneen’s where friends and family had been patiently waiting for the couple to arrive but most importantly — to have $2.50 Schlitz and shots of Malört. They're very excited for you all to come to Wisconsin to celebrate their love.
