Welcome to the Catskills!

We met one night at a restaurant industry bar called The Red Head in NYC's East Village. We had both been to that bar most nights for an overlapping three years and never crossed paths. Perhaps it was fate or just dumb luck but on that particular February night we ended up next to one another at the bar and Phil had had just enough to drink to perceive Lauren's barely polite responses as romantic interest. Fast forward three and a half years; years filled with good times, new adventures, new challenges, tremendous loss and personal growth. Seven days in to a trip through Madrid, San Sebastian and Southern France Phil got down on one knee and proposed. In case you didn't know, Lauren said yes. Well, first she ugly cried, for a long time, then she said yes. We wouldn't be the people we are today without the influence of so many amazing family members and great friends. We look forward to celebrating our love and marriage with all of you!!
