Update on our Plans

Last year we set our intention to get married in the fall of 2020, and we’re happily still  planning to do so this September 26th. Due to the current realities the pandemic has presented us all though, and especially those imposed recently by the state of Massachusetts, our celebration will be a much smaller, family-focused gathering.  We’re so looking forward to the day when we can celebrate this meaningful milestone with you in person. Until then, we’d be honored if you’d consider joining us from afar. Use the following link to access a live-stream of our ceremony. https://youtu.be/QWWMAll_9PM Know that for whenever and however we see you, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support of our ongoing journey as a couple and a family. 

How We Met

We met as colleagues at a Washington, DC based startup back in 2011. We stayed close throughout our respective moves to San Francisco and Boston and started dating in early 2017. Evan bravely invited Maddy to a Willingham wedding early on and she fell in love with the family right away. Evan toughed Boston temperatures a few weeks later and made a great impression on Maddy's family -- despite the fact that the Tar Heels played in the ACC tournament that weekend! While long distance wasn't ideal, we had a blast taking trips to visit each other from coast to coast and everywhere in between. We both found our way back to DC later that year and have enjoyed every minute of getting to know our city together as friends, roommates, and colleagues.

The Proposal

Evan popped the question (and then some bubbly!) at our charming hotel in Paris during a trip to France. We celebrated with martinis at Bar Hemingway and enjoyed the bountiful sights and tastes Paris has to offer. One of the best parts was sharing the news with family and friends the next day on our long car ride to the French Alps. Evan put a strict moratorium on wedding planning for the first month of the engagement - which we promptly broke in our excitement! We can't wait to celebrate with you in September!
