Our Story

We first crossed paths on June 23, 2022, at Choate Rosemary Hall, where Abby was touring the campus for the first time. As fate would have it, we were both history teachers, and even more coincidentally, would share a desk (and still do). In the first few months of the school year, we became friends, and not long after, more than friends. The rest is…history! Over the past three and a half years, we’ve been lucky enough to share some unforgettable adventures together: traveling across continents, seeing various wonders of the world, swimming in crystal-clear waters, hiking mountains, snorkeling with sea turtles, rafting through jungles. But in truth, our favorite moments together have been the simplest: quiet nights at home, just the two of us. So, when our adventures eventually slow down and someday come to a close, we know that, at the end of the day, all we will ever need is each other. We’ve known for a long time that we were going to spend the rest of our lives together, but we are so excited to finally be officially husband and wife - and to celebrate with all of you!
