Our Story
They first locked eyes across the halls of Dickinson at the University of Delaware. What started out as "get-to-know-you" game of cards against humanity turned into longs walks to class, study sessions (aka David nap time), and late night parties. Despite being told they made a cute couple, they would remain close friends for several years. Until Valentine's Day of 2016, when their relationship took the next step. Dages, pitcher nights, and Grotto's pizza would define their young relationship, but college would soon come to a close. They knew they couldn't be apart, so to New York they traveled. In a tiny apartment in the basement of 177 Brower Ave, their relationship continued to grow. Most importantly, they adopted their two wonderful pups, Cato and Ava. This growing family eventually made their way to Maryland. Although they had a house and dogs, there was only one thing missing. He worked for months to find the perfect ring and the best location. While sailing around the British Virgin Islands, they stumbled upon the natural bubbly pool of Jost Van Dyke. There, in front of family and friends, he finally proposed. This love story is ongoing, and they would be honored for you to be a part of this next step.
