Ellie's freshman year at Bates, she saw a cute boy in the dining hall--her first "Commons Crush". Josh's freshman year at Bates, he sat behind a girl in Psych 101--he wished her winter jacket wasn't in the way of his feet. November of their sophomore year, Josh and Ellie were introduced by mutual friends. After they first hung out, Josh immediately texted a friend, saying he thought they'd end up dating. Ellie took a little longer to come around, but by January they were officially together. The following few years were full of summer visits to Seattle, weeknight trips to Gelato Fiasco, and many laughs with their close friends. After graduating, Josh moved out to Seattle to join Ellie and quickly learned to love the PNW. They spent three years growing together, making amazing friends, and eating their way through the city. Now, Ellie’s grad school has brought them back to Maine where they are building a new community, exploring the many running paths, and Josh is teaching Ellie not to fear the ocean. We are so excited to share our wedding day with all of you! We can’t wait to experience what the future holds—see you on the dance floor!
