Our Story

Two days before Christmas 2019, we met over a cocktail at a local South End haunt. After making our way up the street to Wally's Cafe for some live music (and the eventual inspiration for our pup's name), we both decided there should be many more dates to come.
Enter 2020 and all of its turmoil: a torn ACL for Erin immediately before one of our early dates (way to play through pain, coach), followed by a pandemic and lockdowns that put a lot of big plans on hold for everyone. Those planned dates became walks on the Esplanade, ending seated on a park bench watching the sunset in the cold.
Post-lockdown, our adventures began: a first trip to Acadia for lobster and hiking (to see if we actually got along), weekend getaways to Woodstock (hence the wedding venue), and trips out west to Arizona for Brad's job (but also the weather and horses).
Those adventures all led back to that Esplanade park bench two days before Christmas 2021, where Brad proposed (and Erin said yes).
