We met during our senior year at UNH, at a small college bar we both frequented. Max introduced himself in a way that was hard to forget - by stacking plastic cups on Catia’s head. She took it in stride (and somehow kept them balanced), and that random moment turned into the beginning of something really special. Since then, we’ve been through a lot together - navigating new jobs, moving to different cities, and making it through the ups and downs of dental school. Through every phase of life, we’ve stayed grounded in each other. We’ve always shared a love for travel and the outdoors. Some of our favorite memories are from road trips out west to Zion and the Grand Canyon, beach camping on the Cape, and hiking in Acadia. Whether we’re exploring somewhere new or just spending a quiet weekend together, we’ve always felt at home together. Max proposed at the place where we had our very first date - a moped ride out to Adams Point in Durham. He managed to track down a moped for the day, and we rode out to a quiet spot overlooking the water. It was simple, personal, and perfect. We’re so excited to start this next chapter and celebrate with the people we love most.
