We first met in high school and quickly became best friends. When we both attended a local community college, we spent nearly every weekend together and soon realized that our bond was something deeper than friendship. We became inseparable, supporting each other through the balance of full-time work and college life. During those early years, we often found ourselves hiking in New Hampshire — never realizing that one day it would become the place where we’d buy our first home together. Shortly after graduation, Andrew received a job offer in Boston, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter. We embraced city life wholeheartedly — attending concerts (some of questionable renown that Kali managed to persuade Andrew to see), cheering on the Bruins, and spending nights out with friends. One particularly memorable night even ended with Kali getting hit in the face with a hockey puck on national television — a story that still makes us laugh today! While living in Boston, we also discovered a shared love for skiing. It quickly became one of our favorite pastimes, and now, when winter arrives, you’ll almost always find us on the slopes. As much as we loved our time in the city, we knew it was time to start thinking about the future. We chose to make our home in Keene, New Hampshire — the perfect balance between our love of the mountains and our connection to Boston, a place that will always feel like our home away from home. It’s hard to believe it has been nearly eleven years since we first began dating. Our relationship has been built on friendship, support, laughter, and sharing new hobbies and interests. We couldn’t be more excited to celebrate our love and the beginning of this next chapter surrounded by the family and friends who have been part of our journey.
