Our Story

It all started with a swipe... like most millennial couple nowadays and a little luck that Bumble thought we might like each other. Spoiler alert! We met during a frigid Philly winter and had our first date at a bar called The Garage (romantic, we know). One drink turned into three stops and miles of walking in the cold — because nothing says "potential soulmate" like willingly freezing together on date one. The second date was bowling and watching the Eagles game playing in the Super Bowl. Camille casually dropped the news that she was moving to Florida, and Chris casually pretended that wasn't mildly heartbreaking. But instead of calling it, they made the bold choice to keep going - long distance and all. Turns out, distance really does make the heart grow fonder (and the flights more expensive). But every visit made the feelings stronger, and eventually Camille traded palm trees for New Jersey winters to start a life together. We moved into a tiny apartment in Ocean City, NJ, where we learned important relationship skills like: who takes the trash out, how many throw pillows is "too many," and what "sharing the blanket" actually means. A year later, we took the plunge and bought their first house in Somers Point - which just so happened to be the place where Chris proposed, in our backyard on a perfect spring day. Now, we’re eloping in Greece and Italy this October — because why not combine eternal love with epic pasta and sunset views? We are a balance of yin and yang and share a lot of belly laughs. Together, we are best friends, soulmates, and each other's favorite weirdo.
