We first met in 4th Grade when we were classmates at Indian Brook Elementary School. After a contentious science project on the nervous system, it seemed we simply were not destined to be friends. Two years later, we found each other in the same sailing school class at Plymouth Yacht Club. After some encouragement from her sister, Allie and Ricky became close friends. Despite living half-way across the country from each other during the school year, we became close friends and stayed friends throughout the rest of middle school and high school. Summer became a special time every year when we were able to enjoy each other's company in person. Fast forward roughly seven years of friendship, we continued our long distance friendship in college, while Ricky was at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, and Allie was at the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont. We began dating November 2, 2013. Ten years of love and friendship later, we are ecstatic to be celebrating our marriage with our friends and family.
