We had both been accepted into Columbia University's MFA Acting program. The summer before our first semester, Nick came to see Alice in a production of "Hamlet" in Central Park and stayed after to introduce himself. Fast forward a year of grad school and a few failed relationships: Alice finally asked Nick out. We've been together ever since. Nick proposed to Alice near Columbia's campus on her birthday in June of 2019.
In light of the current health crisis and the passing of Alice's mother in August, we have decided to reimagine our previous wedding plans. We will now be holding a private ceremony and reception for only immediate family on October 28th, 2020. If you received a "Change of Plans" card in the mail, it said we were planning to marry in New York City. That has now changed: we will be married at the Inn at Tabbs Creek, a small bed and breakfast on the Chesapeake Bay in Matthews County, Virginia. Our hope is that when it is safe to do so, we will celebrate our anniversary with our extended family and friends. We live in challenging times! But we are looking forward to finally tying the knot and celebrating with all of you as soon as possible.
