While margaritas would have been more appropriate considering the date, we first met at the best of many Irish pubs in Boston and ordered 2 perfectly poured pints of Guinness. The live Irish music complemented the initial get-to-know-you conversation, and by the time we had our third pints, it was clear we are very similar and both love to have a good time. The weekend plans and visits back and forth from Pittsburgh to Boston began shortly after, and increased in frequency as the months and then years passed. There were dinners and wine, new restaurants and our old favorites, several trips and countless parties, Saturdays and Sundays spent cheering for ND and the Bills, beach days and BBQs... which all led to an amazing summer of 2018, that we enjoyed with friends and family on the Cape. As summer was winding down, armed with wine and the most amazing sunset, Nick proposed at Dowses Beach on Labor Day weekend. An incredible surprise to mark the end of the season and the beginning of a whole new life together!
