Hello everyone! Earlier this year, our reception venue decided that they were not going to be holding weddings through 2021. We love the Charles River Museum, so we decided to postpone until April 2022. We thank you for your patience, and we are so excited to have you join us for our springtime wedding!

We both had our last seminar papers of the semester due at 5:00. Finally. The most exhausting semester of our lives—our first semester of graduate school—had ended. We had each started our PhD in English Literature at Boston University in September, which is also when we first met each other. Evan had already been living in Boston, having moved from Wisconsin a few years earlier. He had been managing a local coffee shop. Megan had just moved from Iowa. Evan studies Global Anglophone and African Fiction. Megan studies Renaissance Poetry. We speak a similar language—but at a healthy distance. We did not begin dating right away. Our first semester at BU was very stressful. We saw each other a few times a week, occasionally studied at Mugar, watched the election with our friends. But the focus was school. On December 14, the night that first semester ended, Evan invited Megan to celebrate at his favorite Allston bar, Deep Ellum. Megan still insists she did not know it was a "date.” We shared poutine over gin cocktails and talked about school, family, airports. We talked for hours. We fell in love. Hard and fast. We went on more dates—to the MFA, to Coolidge Corner Theater, to a New Years' Eve party at 148 Washington. Since then, we have tracked thousands of miles together: to the Midwest, to Madison, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and to Maine, Delaware, Texas, Iceland, and Ireland. Evan proposed to Megan in front of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. We cherish the beautiful in the mundane. We love our ordinary lives, together. We live in the everyday love-light of our friends and family. We embrace new experiences but also take comfort in our creaturely routines. We like making dinner and conversation. Sometimes we talk about books; sometimes we talk about anything else. We enjoy crosswords, board games, podcasts, good music, dumb movies, dumber jokes, and dogs. Each of our lives could have taken so many paths—we are so fortunate to have found one another.
