Back in college in 2012, John and Elizabeth were introduced by their mutual friend Kyleigh. Kyleigh knew both John and Elizabeth hailed from Maine, so they of course had to meet. Their first lunch together was in Holloway Commons where they talked about their home state, mainly about John working at Great Diamond and Elizabeth working at the Porthole. They remained friends for a long, long time and spent a lot of time in Portland together with mutual friends and out on the water during summers. Elizabeth moved to Boston after her teaching stint in Thailand and John, who was already living in Boston, helped her look for an apartment. They ended up living just a mile away from each other, spent lots of time together and sooner or later wised up to the idea that they might just be a good pair! They moved back to Maine together at the start of 2020 and both took on new job opportunities. They bought their first house together in Sept 2021 - a duplex right near Willard Beach. And, on July 30th, 2022, John put a ring on it! Two friends who have a lot in common, honor similar values and share a similar outlook on life. - Thanks so much for being a family or friend who will be joining us on our big day! We're excited to bring you all together. xo Elizabeth & John
