Aaron met Abby in 2018 one late summer night in Buffalo, New York. They lived in different cities, and were brought together by their first jobs out of college. They made many great friends, but always savored time with just each other. Dinners in Buffalo turned into weekend visits to Ithaca or Philadelphia, and before either of them knew it, they were together. Just as they always hoped they would be. In the summer of 2020, Aaron and Abby moved into a condo on an old pier on Philadelphia’s side of the Delaware River. Along with their beloved little pup, Derby, the family of three enjoyed years of city life by the riverside, until one scorching hot July day, Aaron took a knee at the bow of a sailboat and asked Abby to be his forever. The two celebrated their engagement aboard the Moshulu and into the city with cherished friends, while Derby napped peacefully, oblivious, on their bed. Under this bed, had Abby ever looked the year before, was the engagement ring that she would wear, happily ever after. It was the best day of their lives… so far.
