We met in December 2016 at Dartmouth College as Gabrielle completed her undergrad education, and Ian wrapped up a research project prior to starting an exciting new job in Boston. Although our time together at Dartmouth was short, it brought us into one another's lives and began the formation of a beautiful friendship. When Gabrielle headed to NYC to pursue her graduate education and Ian continued to thrive in Boston, we continued to stay in touch with (almost) daily phone conversations filled with debates, philosophical discussions, and jokes. Despite the distance, our closeness grew. Fast-forward two years to Thanksgiving 2018 and we found ourselves in the same city at the same time. What was meant to be a friendly holiday get together, instead demonstrated what a deep connection we had with one another and the rest is history! Spanning three years, four different cities, and countless plane, train, and car rides, our love grew. We were able to endure the distance by relying on our strong foundation of friendship and by trusting that every move we made, brought us closer to pursuing our dreams and building the bright future we envisioned together. Finally, in Spring 2020, we found ourselves together in the same place at the same time. We now reside in NYC, with our sweet pup, Forrest; where Ian is working in Technology and going to graduate school and Gabrielle is working in healthcare. We also spend time in Cape Cod at our beautiful new beach home - check out our renovation progress and projects on TikTok @capecodfixerupper. We feel humbled to not only have found our perfect partners in life, but to also have the loving support of our family and friends on this journey. Thank you, and we look forward to celebrating this exciting new chapter with you!
