It all started in 2013, when we met through a mutual friend, Costa, at a small off-campus get-together at CCSU. Little did we know, that one night would be the beginning of something truly special. Who knew that one impromptu get-together would lead us here? Our first date? Snowboarding. Because nothing says "let’s see if we’re compatible" like flying down a snowy mountain. (Spoiler Alert: Liam crushed it while Chara tried her best not to fall off the mountain!) We spent the day laughing, enjoying each other’s company, and learning about one another. That day marked the start of our journey. Twelve years later, here we are! We moved to Boston about 8 years ago, renting the first few years and then settling into a house during the Covid pandemic. During a time of widespread fear and uncertainty, we found ourselves closer than ever. And, along the way, we added our fur child, Bear Mor, to make us a loving family of three. We've both worked hard to build careers that excite us and continue to support each other every step of the way. As we look back on the past 12 years, we’re overwhelmed with gratitude for the love, laughter, and memories we've shared. It wasn’t always an easy or linear path as we’ve faced challenges along the way. But we wouldn’t change a thing - Our imperfectly perfect life is one that we are proud of and we can't wait to see what the future holds. We're so thankful to have each other through it all and to be surrounded by the friends and family who supported our relationship on our special day❤️
