How did the magic happen? Well, we met in Madison, WI way back in 2015. I was finishing up grad school and Greg was just about to start in a few months. Who would've known that our first date at a little coffee shop named Barriques on a cold Tuesday evening (as most were) would be where the magic happened. From date one we laughed hard, told lots of stories, and talked till the shop closed. Sparks were flying! From there, our time in Madison was marked by pastries, beer, lots of cheese curds, time with friends, walks around the lake, and again lots of laughing and smiles, and mais oui, love. After Madison it was two years of long distance, and enough train tickets to and from New Haven to keep Amtrak in business. When Greg got a job at at three letter agency, we knew it was time to move together to DC. The rest is history. We can't wait to see you all in D.C November 2nd to come celebrate with us and and join in our tradition of beer, cheese curds, pastries, laughing, and mais oui, love!
