On March 12 of 2021, during a time when it was very difficult to meet new people due to a global pandemic, we matched on a dating app! After a few days of messaging back and forth we decided to meet up in person at a spot that we have been regulars at, Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co. It didn't take long for Emma to bring up sports, specifically the New England Patriots, and we clicked in constant football talk and relating over our favorite sports podcast Pardon My Take. Our first several dates included going to breweries, fancy drink spots, going on hikes, and wine nights! All things we still love doing together today (plus a lot of skiing of course). By the time of our wedding we'll have been together an incredible four and a half years <3
