Our adventure together began on January 7th, 2023, at Dogfish Head Brewery, where a shared love for vinyl records, Japanese culture, and Wes Anderson films sparked an instant connection. Since then, our journey has been filled with joy, laughter, and countless cherished moments. Geri is the creative force behind a small business that crafts literary-themed chocolates, blending her passion for books and confectionery into delightful treats. Philip brings enthusiasm and curiosity to his role as a 7th-grade science teacher, inspiring young minds to explore the wonders of the world. Together, we have a deep love for traveling and exploring art galleries. From the vibrant streets of Orlando and Philadelphia to the iconic landmarks of New York City and the familiar sights of our home in Washington D.C., our adventures have enriched our lives and strengthened our bond. Phil proposed to Geri on September 15th, 2024 in Luray Virginia. In a heart made of rose petals, Geri said "Yes" instantly. The stalactite organ's music, deep in the caverns, helped celebrate the news. The night was extremely special to us and we hope to continue to make such wonderful memories. As we prepare to embark on this next chapter of our lives, we are grateful for the love and support of our family and friends. Thank you for being a part of our journey and for celebrating with us on this special day.
