Like so many great love stories, ours started… by being paired up in someone else’s wedding. At Marcia’s big day (Fran’s sister and one of Liz’s good friends), fate put us side-by-side to walk down the aisle together. It felt a little like the opening scene of a rom-com—two strangers, one aisle, and no idea what was coming next. The catch? Liz lived in Connecticut, Fran lived in California. Cue the long-distance romance: countless flights, timezone juggling, and more video calls than either of us care to admit. Eventually, Fran traded in the West Coast sunsets for East Coast pizza and moved across the country. Now we’re happily living in our new home in Stamford, Connecticut with our corgi, Maisie, who believes she’s the true star of this love story. And honestly...she might be right.
