The story began in September of 2015 at Principia Upper School, when fate (and a sailing trip to Maine) brought them together. Wyatt had just joined the school, and one of the first activities of the year was a week-long sailing trip. The trip was the perfect setting for a first meeting—just the two of them, along with a few others, on a beautiful 30-foot wooden boat. From the start, Wyatt was captivated by Lydia's confident operation of the boat, while she couldn’t help but be intrigued by the new guy. They felt a connection, but were both too shy to make a move. They spent the trip getting to know each other, secretly crushing on each other the whole time. Their friendship blossomed throughout the semester, but it wasn’t until the last day of school, December 10, 2015, that Wyatt finally worked up the courage to ask Lydia to be his girlfriend. Their journey from there wasn’t exactly smooth sailing at first—they were both shy high schoolers who weren’t quite sure how to act now that they were “official.” In fact, they went an entire week without speaking face-to-face after the school year started again! But slowly, they began to open up to each other, and as time went on, it became clear that they were falling for each other. By the time they were finishing high school, Lydia knew without a doubt that Wyatt was the person she wanted to spend her life with. They continued to build their relationship through four years of college and beyond. After college, they moved to Boston to live with friends. Then, in November 2023, Wyatt took the next big step—he asked Lydia to be his wife. They have spent the past year and a half looking forward to the wedding in September 2025 along with purchasing their first home in April to move to Colorado in June 2025 and start the next chapter of their lives together. Through all the years, the ups and downs, and the adventures they've shared, they've never looked back. They were each other’s first love, and couldn’t be more excited to be each other’s forever.
