We met on an app and quickly began sending lengthy messages to each other throughout each day.  We decided that for our first date we would meet up for a hike (Mt Severance in Schroon Lake, NY).  From that first date forward we both knew there was something special and different about one another and before we knew it we were spending every weekend with one another.  We would take turns driving the 2.5 hours to and from one another’s residences (Emily in Indian Lake, NY and Kristen in Burlington, VT).  We did this for just under two years before taking the next step.  After Kristen graduated with her Master’s degree, she moved to Blue Mountain Lake, NY to live with Emily.  Shortly after the move, Kristen got her dream job in Indian Lake, NY as a mental health counselor.  We got engaged in January 2020 (Emily proposed first) and spent the next year and a half planning our dream wedding.  We are so unbelievably happy to be Mrs. And Mrs. Wade!

We do not remember the first time that we officially met. We grew up down the road from one another, went to school together, and competed on the swim team together. We feel like we’ve known each other our entire lives. 

From ski trips to cruises, nights in cuddling the puppy, or hanging out in the lake, the adventures have been endless. Eric actually invited me on his annual sibling ski trip a month after knowing me. It was on this annual ski trip, two years later when Eric got down on one knee at the Domain Chandon winery in Napa, CA, and asked me to marry him. After laughing in his face because I didn’t think it was real, I said yes. From there, we started planning for a wedding in September 2020. As we all know how that played out, we had to postpone our big event. We decided that we would still get married surrounded by close family and friends and on our one-year anniversary host the wedding we had dreamed of and planned. Now two weddings, and one anniversary later we cannot wait to spend the rest of our lives together with our wonderful puppy Ollivander. I think everyone is glad they don’t have to hear about it anymore considering this event has been in the making since January 2019 (kidding – but seriously, it was a very extended wedding planning process).
