Gerik and I have been together almost 4 years. In that time, he moved up from Castle Creek to Preble, where we’ve built a wonderful life together. We’ve had 2 beautiful children (Alexander and Colette), and live with our dogs Pierce and Mazie, and cats Lucy & Spice. It’s a full house and we are so lucky to be able to share our lives together. Gerik and I had an instant connection upon meeting in the fall of 2019. We went on to spend almost all of our free time together and got through Covid together. We’ve shared a mutual respect and love for each other and naturally try to make each other happy as often as we can. We spend a lot of time in nature and love to get outside with Letty and the dogs whenever we can. Much of our time has been spent exploring local waterfalls and state parks. I drag him to a beach every few months as well. 
In 2021, we welcomed out son Alexander into the world. Our beautiful boy was with us for 4 months. He gave us such an appreciation for life and love and truly was the most incredible baby. When we lost him unexpectedly it broke our hearts. Somehow, with the help of each other and a loving support system we were able to get through much of that grief. 
In 2023, we welcome Colette (Letty) into our lives. She has been an absolute joy and has helped heal our hearts in many ways. Our commitment to our family and to our future is what brought us to our wedding day.  We are looking forward to many more joy filled days as we continue to build memories together. 

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.
