In summer 2010, both of us showed up for a gathering with high school friends. At 19, no one imagines meeting their future husband or wife, but that's exactly what happened for us. After talking for hours, we were unaware and surprised that we both graduated from the same high school, and the same graduating class. Weird right?

Lucky, young, and in love, we spent that first summer together and then we traveled to see one another once Kate went back to college. Many memories were made both near and far, at Western Connecticut State University and in our hometown of Waterford, CT, as well as everywhere in between.

We made our first memories together sitting on the rock wall at Guthrie Beach in New London, CT, where seven years later, Max proposed.

We are both so grateful for years of amazing memories, and for a lifetime of countless more. Forever begins October 5th, 2018.
