How we got here

Aug 1, 2015

We have (slightly) different versions of the story behind how we found each other. Milena jokes that Darren started with the worst pick-up line, Darren claims he was suave. Whatever the case, we went on a date one week later .... .... and so, this wedding date is special for us because it comes close to when it all started. We met the old-fashioned way, at the Green Dragon bar in Boston on August 1st, when Darren told Milena he'd take her to a Red Sox game to experience Fenway for the first time. With our luck, there was no game that wkend (sorry baseball fans!) but being the go-getter that he is, Darren hit gold: On August 8th, he got us into the Zac Brown concert (also at Fenway) and he even kissed Milena in public - our first kiss! That day marked our anniversary, only for Luke to third wheel it as he was also born on August 8th. So you could say we're claiming our own day again:) Some call us opposites, but underneath our many differences we share some fundamental values: we love our people, we're loyal as loyal can be, we value hard work, we're always there to lend a helping hand, and we love to have fun. So after many years together, swearing off marriage and the formalities that come with it, we're now approaching it as a fun way for all our worlds to come together and to have ourselves an epic party in one of our most favorite places!
