Our StoryOur Story

We met at work in 2018. Though we worked in different buildings and on different projects, we found ourselves spending time together at post-work happy hours and volunteer activities (pictured here!)

Our relationship really grew during Covid. We were lucky enough to have the greatest "bubble" of friends to keep us sane with game nights, cookouts, or this weekend trip to the cape!

Dillon made his first trip out to Michigan to meet Maddie's family, and we finally decided we were "boyfriend & girlfriend" (after 6 months of dating)

Our first vacation as a couple in Acadia, ME. This trip kicked off our "yak-pack" (pack is generous, so far it's just Maddie and Dillon in a blowup kayak!)

Visiting the local Halibut Point State Park in Rockport!

Maddie joins in on the Cecchi family vacation to Jackson Hole, WY!

Dillon has become an honorary Sparty and attended his first Big 10 football game!

Dillon's turned Maddie into a Sox fan!

Another summer, another trip with our best friends, the same "bubble" we started with!

We took our first big vacation together to Greece! Maddie tagged along on Dillon's work trip, and we had the best time island hopping after the fish conference!

The Yak Pack hits the Charles River! Our favorite weekend activity

We moved quite a bit while on the hunt to purchase a home. Somerville to Gloucester to Rockport...we made the most out of each step in the journey! Here we're enjoying the view from the Gloucester boulevard

After 3 apartments together, and lots of offers - we bought our house!

We've been so lucky to celebrate so many of our friends and family getting married!

WE GOT ENGAGED!!!! Dillon proposed under the apple tree in our backyard the summer we bought our house

On the hunt for wedding venues. We hadn't found the right one yet at this point, but we're so excited to have landed on the Emerson Inn and can't wait for the big day!
