We each were our what if people in our lives 20 years ago, that came  to be 12 years ago.  Our lives have not been the same since. Daniel and I met 20 years ago at my college when he came to visit his twin brother. He and I exchanged wash’s to stay in contact but he very quickly became my what if guy. As I his what if girl. Years passed with small conversations here and there online until one day when things blossomed into something amazing! A beautiful relationship started to bloom between us with long talks and chats online roam invitation to a fire one night. From that day on we were inseparable. Now here we are 12 years later married!!!

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.

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!
