Lindsay and Brian grew up in the same town, went to the same school, were friends with the same families — Brian with the older siblings, Lindsay the younger. Despite sitting in the same stands, walking the same halls, and running in the same circles… they never met. After high school, they went away to college and went on to live in different towns. In 2020, in the midst of global challenges and abundant change, Lindsay’s company went remote, allowing her to permanently work from home. And home she went, not to a small apartment near the city where she’d spent the last several years, but back home to the place she’d grown up — where Brian too lived. Not expecting to find love, chance would have them starting the new year, 2021, talking to one another. Small talk and texts led to hours spent over food and drinks, puppy playdates, walks in the park, and before they knew it, they had fallen in love. They blended their families, each bringing a dog in tow, and moved in together. Since then they’ve made countless memories, made a house a home, celebrated birthdays, weddings, and births of those they love. And now they couldn’t be more excited to celebrate their happily ever after surrounded by family and friends. So here’s to new chapters with old friends and big love found in small towns.
