As Rihanna once famously said, “We found love in a hopeless place.” That is certainly true of our story. We met in October 2020 in Stamford, Connecticut during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and quickly realized we were meant for each other. On our first few dates, we would spend hours talking about nothing in particular, so engrossed in our conversation that we would forget to order dinner until after the kitchen had closed. Family and friends could also tell our relationship was special. Deanna, Lindsay’s older sister, likes to be credited for predicting that Scott would be the one Lindsay marries after Lindsay described their first date. Even people who had just met us realized our connection. On a trip to Antigua in August 2021, we went on a sailing charter with several other couples. We spent the afternoon snorkeling and getting to know one another. Later in the evening, one of the more precocious couples from the sailing charter approached Scott at the resort and emphatically asked why he hadn’t yet proposed to Lindsay. To this day, Scott insists this couple was a strategically placed plant by Lindsay but could not have agreed more with their recommendation. On the morning of our next trip, which was to Italy in April 2022, Scott could not wait any longer and finally proposed. We are so excited to get married and cannot wait to celebrate with all of our family and friends before embarking on our next adventure.
