Our Story Thus Far

October 2014. Ian and I met one fateful day at what was going to be a "family dinner". Initially, I thought several people were going to attend this get together at our friends' apartment. I soon found out that only Ian was coming and realized right away that this was a setup. Awkward moments. But, as fate would have it, we hit it off immediately and spent the whole day together. Ian asked me out the next day (I thought he was just being nice) and I agreed. Our date was perfect and magical, but I told him I only wanted to be friends. After all, I had just moved to NYC and wanted to focus on auditioning and working. He persisted. From October '14 to February '15, we had several "let's be friends conversations" and after those, our time together always seemed to double. Finally, at the beginning of February, we decided to officially start dating and it didn't take long to realize we wanted to be together until the end of time. We made a home together in July 2015 and brought home a fur baby in November 2015. Athena quickly stole our hearts and we knew we were headed down the right path. On October 12, 2017, two years to the day that we met, Ian got down on one knee in our favorite neighborhood spot and promised to love me forever. I thought I was attending a reading for a weird adaptation of Chekov's "Three Sisters". What I actually stepped into was TASZO, our favorite urban-rustic coffee shop/wine bar filled with many of our favorite humans. Our song, "Warm Foothills" by Alt-J on Loop. Love and joy filled the air. We celebrate those of you who will join in body or in spirit as we celebrate our union. Three years and two days to the day that we met. Our story is only just beginning. Thank you for joining us!
