We’d both spent years visiting the storied Top O’, known as the “social crossroads” of Chapel Hill. Katy completed both undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of North Carolina, and Chris coached lacrosse there for seven years. Given the absurd amount of time each of us spent at this bar, it’s hard to believe it took so long — not to mention, we actually grew up less than 10 miles apart! We ultimately met through friends on September 12, 2015 [on the right side of the bar, third stool from the end], and the rest was history. Nearly six years, five jobs, dozens of flights, one golden retriever, and a National Championship later, we are building a life that we love in Vermont. We can’t wait to celebrate with each and every one of you in our beloved Durham!
