WELCOME

We are thrilled you are here and can’t wait to celebrate with all of our favorite people in October!

HOW WE MET

July 2020

Our poetic meet-cute was a simple online swipe, but it changed our worlds forever. We braved a global pandemic to meet for our first date at Kettner Exchange, a swanky rooftop lounge in Little Italy. The connection was instant. We spent the night talking, laughing, and discovering the abundance of commonalities we shared. It seemed our Bumble romance was “meant to bee.” We quickly became inseparable. We enjoyed many firsts together, like Abby’s first ski trip and Brian’s first Rufus Du Sol concert. We taught each other the finer points of meal prepping and true crime documentaries. We created more pet names and inside jokes than one could count. In short, we were madly in love. A year later, we found ourselves living together wondering how we ever lived apart. Little did Abby know the proposal planning had already begun!

THE PROPOSAL

February 2022

Brian went all out for the proposal. Those of you who know Brian won’t find that surprising at all! And those of you who know Abby realize she deserved it all! After brainstorming for months (and practically becoming an expert gemologist) it was time to propose. A downtown wedding venue, Luce Cielo, provided the perfect setting for an intimate and beautiful proposal. Abby was going to love it! Everything came together beautifully. Under the guise of a fancy dinner, we made our way downtown. Abby’s favorite song “Innerbloom” was playing as we walked in. The room was decorated with string lights, candles, and flowers. There was charcuterie and champagne (Abby’s favorites), complete with custom engraved glasses. The question was asked and of course Abby answered with a resounding “YES!”
