We met as many folks do these days: an electronic filter! Šara was finally excited to have a purpose for her fresh PHD title, threw it into her Ok Cupid profile, and set her "okcupid" settings to someone who was from, or spoke various languages.... Nick, tested the filter to be set for someone with a PhD. Finally! They found each other. Šara promptly asked Nick if he could ski, and Nick asked about the George Saunders book that she mentioned in her recently read books. They met on an awkward first day in the dusty couches of Art Bar in the West Village in New York, and promptly set out for a travel trip to explore the Balkans. Both of us had never had a long term relationship, were perpetually choosing uncomitted life, and three years later, here we are! Nick's family has been coming to Deer Lake for many generations, and Šara grew up camping, endlessly smitten by the outdoors. They expect to return to the lake every year, so long as their friends will come for a visit, so having the wedding here hopefully will pave the way for that tradition to continue. WELCOME!
