It's about time...

We go way back. About as far back as you can go. We met in first grade and even briefly dated in sixth (when Corey broke up with Kristin over AOL Instant Messenger...woof), but it took until the end of our senior year of high school for us to realize that we should be together. Corey asked Kristin to senior prom on a bench in Central Park, and later asked Kristin to be his girlfriend (to which she more or less said "I'll think about it"). It wasn't exactly perfect timing given that after 12 years of school together, Corey was about to go to UChicago and Kristin to Cornell. But that summer we spent every possible second together and fell in love and decided to stay together and try long distance. Luckily, it turned out that Corey didn't like UChicago nearly as much as he liked Kristin, and transferred to Cornell as soon as possible (clingy much?). It's hard to summarize everything that's happened since then, but some highlights include [too] many round-trip flights to visit each other, a 3-week trip to Asia after college graduation where the only food poisoning was from hotel pizza, countless Rangers and Yankees games, many omakases on the Lower East Side, even more Joe's pizza, nightly snuggles in bed while watching cooking shows, and lots of time spent with our families and friends. Fast-forward to almost eight years later and Corey asked Kristin to marry him on the same park bench that he asked her to prom. We've come to the conclusion that we're pretty much incapable of getting sick of each other, and that we really want to spend our lives together. Long story short: we're so excited to get married and celebrate with all of you!
