This story begins in 2019 when Karen and André found themselves on a collision course neither could avoid. Nestled away in her private office at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Karen was informed she'd be getting a new office mate. Enter André. In an instant they clicked. From colleagues, to friends, to something unknown, to best friends, and eventually life partners. It was obvious they were destined for one another. Dating during the peak of COVID was a blessing in disguise for Karen and André as it allowed them to explore the outdoors and fully appreciate their quarantine partner-in-crime. Together they explored the outdoors, taking on hikes and reaching new heights to escape the city congestion, all while enjoying one another's company. Talking about nothing and everything at the same time. They were all they needed. As the world opened back up, Karen and André took full advantage of the things they love most: food and sports. You'll often find the two of them doing extensive research on the best (insert food item here) across the country, and make it their mission to try it out. And you better believe they're locked in on gameday. Whether home or at the game, they're going to be decked out and cheering on their beloved Knicks, Giants, Saints, Tigers and Orange. In August 2023, Karen and André traveled out west for a journey of a lifetime as they hiked, biked and paddled their way through the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park. This already magical trip was not complete until André dropped to one knee on a peak in Zion to ask Karen if she'd marry him. While we're still not sure if she officially said yes, they're getting married. That brings us to you... Karen and André are firm believers that every shared experience makes that certain something that much more special. That is why they are honored to have you join them on their special day, to share in that experience, and cement the next, great chapter in their lives. They cannot wait to celebrate with and see you all!
