We met on September 26, 2015, at Mikes Crab House in Annapolis, Maryland. Not one for a long sit down dinner, Travis begrudgingly agreed to join his family that evening to meet mine for dinner. Our parents have known each other for quite some time. Mother of the Bride, Sandy, best friends with Travis's aunt since grade school and Father of the Groom, Jeffrey, best friends with Travis's late Uncle since they were young. It wasn't until that evening that we met finally - unless we count when we were 5-years-old at Travis's grandparent's lake house on Lake Gaston. I was afraid of his dog and for that, he didn't like me. Fast forward to about 20 years later, that next day Travis texted me asking if I would want to hang out sometime. I thought he was cute, so I was excited and we set up a date for that Thursday, October 1, 2015. 4 days before our wedding date, October 5, 2019, we will have been together for 4-years. Within this time we've experienced so much together! Many laughs, time with family and friends, countless trips to the lake, amazing vacations and trips, a long-distance relationship, loss, love, and countless memories. We can't wait to get married and celebrate with all of our family and friends!
