Brandon Bussi and Mary Raclawski's cutesy love story
Brandon and Mary crossed paths when they were both students at college. At the time, Mary was a cross-country and track athlete, while Bussi was a hockey player. Eventually they became friends, which blossomed into love. Recalling their initial days of romance, Mary said in a recent interview with People:
"I ran cross country and track there, and he was a hockey player. The first day that he moved in on campus, we met in the dorms and he lived right above me and we soon realized that we had a class together. So from that point on, we were like, 'You know what? Let's walk to class together.' Honestly, the rest is history. We've been together for six and a half years now."
The duo had spent a lot of time in a long-distance relationship. Explaining their busy schedules, Mary shared that dating while being college athletes was not easy. In the same interview, Mary mentioned:
"I think any student-athlete will tell you that it's definitely a challenge and a learning curve. For us, it was very difficult because I was kind of in season almost year-round for cross country in the fall and then track in the spring. So it was always super busy. And then their hockey season goes from October to March. So we were always overlapping. There was a lot of travel involved, and we did have to do long distance for quite some time."
As they exchanged vows in front of their close family and friends, the couple knew they wanted to get married in a Catholic church. Sharing their views on it, Mary shared, "Our faith is an important part of our relationship, so celebrating the sacrament of marriage in a traditional church ceremony was our biggest priority." Carolina Hurricanes star Brandon Bussi added that with their wedding venue, they wanted to pay tribute to their early beginnings. In his words:
"Boston is where we first started our lives together outside of college at Western Michigan University. Every summer while we were dating, Mary would visit me while I was goalie training in Boston, so it holds a very special place in our hearts. We have made some incredible friends who have become family in Boston."
In the same candid interview with People, Mary admitted that planning their big day amid Brandon’s busy NHL season, especially leading into the Stanley Cup finals, was bit stressful. But the most important thing was finally being husband and wife. She said, "Promising to be there for each other through sickness and in health, through some of the best times of our lives and potentially some of the hardest. I find comfort in knowing that wherever life takes us, we will be okay because we have each other. I am so grateful I found a man like Brandon."
Congratulations to Brandon Bussi and Mary Raclawski.
