Growing up down the street from one another we have always been a part of each other’s lives. From riding the same school bus together in 3rd grade to slow dancing at our 8th grade dance, there always seemed to be a spark between us. When high school rolled around, we had every class together and quickly became inseparable best friends. In college, although it seemed we had moved in separate directions, we found ourselves in the same city. There was always something pulling us together, whether we knew it or not. After reconnecting, reminiscing, and many belly laughs later, we realized we found friendship and love in the same person. We were always meant to be in each other’s lives and definitely more than just friends. We spent our first two years together in Skaneateles (our favorite town!) and weathered two years of long distance eventually landing us in Stamford, CT. One wiener dog later and so many amazing memories together, we are so excited to be married! This is just the beginning of our journey together, and we know now more than ever that we were destined to be together.

We met in D.C, grew together in San Francisco and made it official in NYC. We in many ways embody the statement, opposites attract! We were set up by two friends, and dated for a year before taking it seriously. 

A lot of our story has to do with our love of adventure and for each other and being together. When we graduated undergrad, Brett got a job still in the area so I could finish my graduate degree and we could be together. By the time I finished my masters degree, covid was in full swing. During covid, we bounced around from my parents house in Buffalo, NY, to his parents and his brother’s house in Austin, TX. We road tripped with our dog, Dasher, to Cape Cod, MA, Nashville, Austin, Arizona, Utah and Colorado. In 2021 while we were on our road trip in Colorado, Brett got a call that he got a job in Seattle. From Colorado, we drove to Washington with only the belongings we had in the car and got a place. Now living in Washington with a house and now two dogs, we travel around Washington hiking, camping, snowboarding, skiing and doing all the things we love. All of the things we’ve done have been done together.
