We met four years ago while working for a kayak rental company along the Charles River in Newton, MA. Glances, numbers, plans, and brief touches (all "just as friends!") were exchanged soon after we met, and Liam gave Amelia a metal rose he had made. Our first date was at the Harvard Museum of Natural History in Cambridge, a spot we had both visited with our own families growing up. We moved in together a few months after we started dating, then adopted some cats, moved across the state, and started our master's degrees. Liam proposed to Amelia in February of 2024. We still like to get out on the river when we can. Love certainly comes when you least expect it!
