Our Story

John and Megan met in undergrad at UChicago while living in the same dorm freshman year. First impressions varied after Megan witnessed John do a waffle eating contest...against himself. The pair got together sophomore year. It's been rumored that Taylor series (see also: math) played a big factor. Truth is, we both decided it was worth getting French toast at 7 am - even though neither of us are morning people. Twelve hours and three parking tickets later, our first date was in the books. Turns out we’re both breakfast people. We will be celebrating ten years, will have lived in three cities and explored four continents together by the time of our wedding.
04.16.22 - We got engaged Easter Weekend in Big Sur! People always ask how it happened. Megan likes to rephrase the question as how he got away with it.

May 2022 - John’s new passion is skiing. He went from greens to black diamonds in his first season. Megan occasionally tags along for the aprés-ski. If anyone asks she’s learning how to snowboard.
