If you know us well, you probably already know that we keep a framed photograph of ourselves together at first holy communion in our living room. The first holy communion coincidence has little to do with how we got to this point, but is a reminder that we've always been in each others lives and got to watch each other grow up. Our spotty acquaintanceship and light friendship continued until later in high school when we became fast close friends. We supported each other through family divorces, prom planning, and whatever else 17 year old Grace and Jack did. We grew into young adulthood, left for college, but remained close. Freshman year of college is when everything changed. We each fell in love with our best friend. Despite our attempts to keep things from being complicated, we inevitably decided to try long distance from New York to San Diego and take a leap of faith for what felt really right. Over the past 6 years, we proceeded to live in Seattle together, do long distance from Boston to New York where we had transferred schools, and eventually move in together in Boston for a short period of time which was ended by a welcomed couple of job offers in New York where we finally got to settle down in our favorite city. It's complicated, difficult to explain, but here we are now. We live in our favorite area of Brooklyn with our pet fish Truman Capote (soon to be Truman Transue??) and we're ready to be husband and wife. We're so excited for this next chapter of our life together and to spend the rest of forever supporting each other like we always have. It's such a privilege getting to watch each other grow up as well as grow old together.
