From our very first date (at the Starbucks on State Street because all of the other coffee shops were closed due to an epic snowstorm), we knew there was something special in the future for our relationship. We spent hours talking about our lives, our ambitions, our views of the world, and our love for Madison. And in the seven years since that first date, we have been so lucky to have been part of such a large family of relatives and friends from across the world who have loved us and supported our relationship. We've chosen to host this celebration in our favorite place, Madison. This is where we grew to love each other and where we grew into the people we are today, and we think that nowhere else in the world represents who we are better than this city. Years ago, we were walking up and down State Street as a young college couple holding hands, excited for what the world had in store for us. Now, we can't wait for you to watch us as we make that same stroll down State Street — this time as a husband and wife who are indescribably excited to continue sharing our lives together, and with all of you.
