Let’s celebrate!

Like any beautiful modern love story, ours began with a heart in the bottom right hand corner of Hinge. Over a love of a great IPA, our love story began at Modern Times in North Park. We quickly discovered that we had a lot in common: love for our families and friends, sports, and delicious Italian food! After that day at Modern Times, we dated a couple more times before Maddy left for 10 days to go see her brother, Andy, and sister in law, West, in Philadelphia for Spring Break. In the car on the way to Andy’s house from the airport, Andrew (then 5 months old) was crying in the back seat as Maddy was telling Andy and West about Adam. Maddy said to Andrew “Shh buddy, I’m talking about your potentially future uncle!” Lucky enough, Maddy was right! When Maddy got back into town, it was not long before we became official. Our adventures continued, with Adam visiting Philly for the first time for Maddy’s birthday. We visited with family in Laguna Beach, traveled to Paso Robles and Sonoma (building our love for wine), and New York. Then a year and a half later, Adam said we should go to Santa Monica to see Andy and West while they were in town with Maddy’s nephews. Maddy did not think anything of it; thinking it was just so sweet that he was willing to go up to LA for a short weekend. Adam asked Maddy to go to the beach for a walk and a corn dog, which of course she said yes to. In the meantime, unbeknownst to Maddy, Adam’s and her family were assembling at the Shutters to watch Adam propose! After a short walk on the pier, a stop in the shade, and a little walk onto the sand, Adam dropped to his knee and asked Maddy to marry him and spend the rest of their lives together! She said “YES!” We can’t wait to share our love with all of you at our wedding!
