We met through mutual friends (shout out to Chelsea & Chad!) and relied on them for the vetting process. Our first blind date in Seattle did not happen and eventually we resorted to texting. Ed sent the first text on December 3rd, we spoke on the phone December 5th, and we met in person December 7th. We spent that weekend together and have been inseparable since. Kristi left Seattle for this new life in Westport and Ed completely transformed his way of living. Together we have already accomplished so much and we cannot wait to officially start forever as a team. It is no secret that we would not be who we are today without you, our dearest loves. Thank you for being in our lives and for supporting us every day.

Over the winter we secretly bought a piece of land to build a home. The sale closed on Kristi's birthday so we went to the property for a champagne toast and celebration! Little did Kristi know, Ed had a ring ready and popped the question in front of Kristi's favorite tree on the property. And then Ed had a secret engagement party ready with loved ones waiting at the Pine Tree. It was a massive day with so much to be thankful for and so much love around us.
