WE'RE GETTING MARRIED

Our story begins at a fertility clinic. You know, how most kids meet these days.... Arielle found a job off craigslist working at a fertility clinic in Manhattan, where she met Joe, who happens to be one of Ryan's best friends. For those of you who know Joe, most of his stories don't end well. Luckily, ours does. We lived 16 blocks apart in NYC. That's only a 20 minute walk or 2 subway stops or a perfectly timed "random" run along the Hudson. It was a great summer filled with friends, farms and endless laughter. When Arielle left for medical school on Long Island two subway stops turned into two hour LIRR commutes. Mutual admiration, love, support and an ongoing "who cooks the best salmon competition" kept the spark alive. Almost 4 years later and we've been through medical school, 2 new jobs, multiple emergency room visits and countless train tickets, but there is still no clear winner on the salmon. You have all been there for us (and Charlie the cat) as we've grown together and we cannot be more excited to celebrate with you on June 2. Looking forward to seeing you all at the wedding!
