We started working together in Boston in June of 2015 and we didn't really get to know each other until October of that same year when we were basically glued at the hip for a week for a work assignment. During that week, Mary met Ethan's dad while at a Bruins game with Ethan's client, and Ethan met Mary's mom while swinging by her shop in between meetings in Newport. Five days together and it was clear to both of us we didn't want the week to end. Two weeks later we went on our first date at Green Street in Cambridge and the rest is history.
Mary and Ethan took a road trip with their dog, Okemo, from Colorado back to Orleans to work remote for a week during the pandemic. We had finished our first day of remote work that Monday and decided to head to Rock Harbor to catch the sunset. There is a little parking lot at the end of Dyer Prince Road, so we parked there and headed to the side of the beach no one else was on. Ethan found the perfect moment to drop down to one knee and luckily, Okemo was an angel and stood patiently to witness mom and dad get engaged!
