IN JUNE OF 2017, we first met through an app - it’s how the kids do it nowadays. Over the course of that summer, we made our first memories, shared our first meals and had our first adventures. And we didn’t know it at the time, but that summer would go on to be just a teaser of what was in store. See, our dating that summer ultimately didn’t last - we parted ways, saw other people… one would have every reason to believe that was the end of our story. We certainly did. IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG after reconnecting in 2019 to realize the ways we had both grown to be ever more compatible than before. It wasn’t as if no time had passed - the time that had indeed past was evident in the ways we were now able to see and affirm one another in just the ways we both needed. THE LOVE THAT GREW from those early months together again in 2019 became a lifeline during months of quarantine and challenging times, and an absolute joy during the many quiet evenings spent watching bad reality shows, our travels to places both new and familiar, and the cherished friendships we’ve shared since. WE'RE THRILLED TO CELEBRATE the story of our relationship with you this October in Chicago! Because you’re part of that story. And we think you’re worth celebrating.
