We were destined to meet, walking parallel paths from childhood all through college. Growing up in upstate New York, both attending Bentley University, and not meeting (formally) until after graduation and choosing to live a town over from each other in Boston. Riley fell in love with Katie's sense of humor, her thoughtfulness, and ability to bring joy and spontaneity into every room she entered. Katie fell for Riley's humor, his can-do attitude, and his kindhearted nature. We bonded over our love of food (most importantly chocolate ice cream), travel, walking and exploring nature together. Katie showed Riley why Lake George is so important to her, and why having a cat was integral to happiness (we love our child, Stella!). Riley shared with Katie his love of cows, fish, Italy, and woodworking (In no particular order of course). With so much history and joy between us, we are so excited to take this next step together and welcome a new chapter. We can't wait for you all to celebrate with us, and watch us as continue to grow as people, and as partners.
