How We Met

We met in college at Brown University in 2011, where we had an overlapping major in Visual Art. After coming back from a semester abroad, our good friends set us up one fateful night and the rest is history. Since graduating, we've lived in Cambridge, MA, and Brooklyn, NY, where we've pursued our mutual interests in art and design.

The Proposal

Before Ethan started graduate school, we planned a ten-day road trip around Iceland. On the second day, we went off the beaten path to a remote beach in the West Fjords. There was red sand stretching for miles, and we were completely by ourselves between the cliffs and the Arctic sea. It was earlier than planned but the situation was perfect, and Ethan decided to pop the question then and there! I was so astonished that I could barely squeak out a "Yes!" and had to sit down. After regaining the ability to walk, we set off on the rest of our adventure with an added spark that followed us back home for the past year and a half. We can't wait to get married back where it all started in Rhode Island. See you in Newport!
