How we met

A match made in music

We first met at a concert in Boston, introduced by a mutual friend (Diana Triffletti). It wasn't one of those storybook encounters where we both recognized our soul mate at first glance but rather, the start of a long term friendship reinforced through our mutual love of music and common friend group. It wasn't until a few years later that we became close and began to talk on a daily basis, mostly to share our favorite new music and plan the next concert we planned to attend. Given that one of Christie's best friends happened to be Patrick's sister Mairead, the relationship never progressed out of mutual recognition that Mairead should be spared any fallout from a potentially temporary infatuation. It wasn't until we spent a long, magical weekend together at a music festival that it became clear we were delaying the inevitable and we couldn't withhold our feelings for each other any longer. A week later, Patrick disclosed his intentions to Mairead and secured her approval to pursue a relationship with Christie. Serendipitously, the official start of our relationship took place in the same manner in which we met - on the dance floor at a concert in Boston.
