What do all of these things have in common? They are the six emojis that brought us to this special day. Back in early February of 2018- like so many others- we stumbled across each other on a dating app called Bumble. After a couple of matching swipes to the right, Laura asked Cam, "How would you describe yourself using three emojis?" It was an intriguing opening line, made even more intriguing by the cute girl draped in a silver marathon blanket in picture number three, who asked it. After several hours of soul-searching for what miniature cartoon images could possibly capture the true essence of his soul, Cam ultimately settled on the pineapple, the dancing man and the pair of dice. Smooth. Laura replied with a sun for the pineapple, a dancing woman for a dancing man, and a glass of wine for a roll of the dice. That was enough to set a date that upcoming Thursday at a dark, cozy bar in the North End. Ever-thoughtful (and literal), Laura chose Parla since their cocktails are literally ordered by rolling dice. A couple of dice rolls turned into a couple of butterflies, turned into a couple of dates, turned into a couple of years of love and memories. Rock-climbing, movie marathons, goofy dancing, BBQ dinners, bike rides on the cape, meeting families, meeting friends, a backpacking adventure, a surprise trip to a Panamanian emergency room, and a global pandemic filled many, many more dice rolls and glasses of wine, all seemingly in the blink of an eye. And now that brings us to our wedding day, for which we are unbelievably excited to share with all the people that matter to us most. So please join us in Chagrin Falls on June 5th, 2021 to celebrate our love and toast to our future. We can't wait to see you there! Love, Cam and Laura
