On a December evening in Boston, Lucy (Ali) and Ian met on a blind date. After hours of conversation, as Ian walked Ali to her door through the blistering cold night, she clinged onto his arm, and he started to fall in love. Two days later, they went on a day-long date together with friends, and Ian knew that Ali was his person. Nine months later––after family vacations, international travel, combining their South Boston homes, countless laughs, and far fewer tears––they were engaged! What happened in between is a true love story: a tale of two people who naturally completed each other embarking on an adventure during which they learned almost as much about themselves as they did each other. For Ali, Ian is the reward for her patience. After conquering graduate school at Yale, landing her dream job at Boston Children’s, and lovingly sharing her life with friends and family, she had one gap remaining in her life, and she found the person to fill it. For Ian, Ali is vindication of his decision to return home to Boston in search of his soulmate, after moving coast to coast and a few places in between. Ali and Ian are beyond humbled by and grateful for the endless support of their family and friends, and they cannot wait to celebrate and share their love with them.
