Our Story

Derek and M.E. met freshman year through mutual friends at Boston College. Throughout their four years, they shared a tight-knit group of friends who enjoyed playing intramural sports, planning weekend trips, tailgating football games, and even spending time together in the library. After college, Derek was off to work in Chicago while M.E. started her teaching career in Boston. They stayed close and when Derek moved back to Boston, they began to spend a lot of time together. At their good friend's wedding (which happened to be Derek's 25th birthday), Derek asked M.E. out on a date - what a memorable birthday! After the first date, it was clear that they had a special connection. They shared a love for comedy shows, breweries, AGT, travel, and any activity involving their family and friends. Three years later, it came as no surprise (except for M.E.) when Derek proposed at sunrise in M.E.'s favorite place, Martha's Vineyard. They are so excited to celebrate with their family and friends in June and continue to build their life together!
