Flannery and Stu met in Tallahassee (Go Noles!) and spent years as best friends—attending sporting events, concerts, and playing YouTube roulette with friends (you pick a song, and everyone is forced to watch and sing along—it's amazing—and more than half of their wedding guests have probably been subjected to it!). While COVID-19 was tough, one silver lining was that it brought Flannery and Stu even closer together. They quarantined together, and during that time, they had plenty of opportunities to do what they loved and get to know each other even more. Stu moved to DC for work, and after just a couple of weeks of being apart, Flannery couldn’t stay away and followed him! They stayed friends for a while—until they weren’t! They started dating in November 2020, and the rest is history! Now, they’re happily living in Arlington, VA with their dog, Avicii, and their cat, Tullamore.
