We started off as “just friends” after meeting one another freshman year of college but we both agreed that deep down from the moment that we met, we couldn’t quite shake the feeling that we were meant to be more. We spent quite a few years fighting our feelings but slowly things all fell into place. We started “officially” dating the weekend of undergraduate graduation and since then have lived in two different RVs, worked in 6 states traveling the US for work and most recently bought our first home in Cleveland. 

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).

Philadelphia has our hearts, we have lived here for the past 8 years and own a house here. But, we have ties to upstate New York and were married in Fair Haven, NY on Oct 23, 2021. 

We’ve been together for 3 years. Met in steamboat, lived in Denver, skied together every weekend that first winter together. Moved in together during Covid (& flourished during that time). Proposed back in steamboat. A few months later, Aaron deployed for almost a year and when he came back, we started our next adventure in Virginia.
Every stage feels like a restart to the honeymoon. If we laugh 1/10 of the amount, we will be in a good spot!
