Maeve and Jon met the same way many couples meet these days, dressed in full safety gear, pouring molten iron at a Halloween Iron Pour show. They both had been invited to participate at the Steelyard industrial art center in Providence Rhode Island in the fall of 2015 and were introduced to each other as fellow art teachers. Jon had been thinking about working at the high school level and Maeve was already doing just that. She offered to show him around her school, he took her up on the offer, and the rest is history. Since then the two have enjoyed making art, visiting both their families in Connecticut, keeping each other sane during the pandemic quarantine, and making a home together. On a continuing basis Jon acts as an endless fount of trivia, both from podcasts and from Star Wars, as well as a copy editor for Maeve’s professional writings, and Maeve is the travel agent, planner, and tour guide. 6 years later we just knew that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together and here we are. We can’t wait to celebrate our wedding day with you in September!
