In 2016, Mark and I first crossed paths at Disney World during our EY internship. Little did we know, it was just the beginning. Fast forward to 2017, and our paths started crossing again—this time in New York City, over and over again. Through work happy hours, a shared love for dive bars on the Upper East Side (shoutout to 5 Mile Stone and Sessions), and living just 10 blocks apart, we quickly became friends. During this time, we supported each other through life’s ups and downs, including enduring the chaos of LGA construction as we traveled weekly to client sites. Over the years, we built a tight bond filled with mutual respect, loyalty, sarcasm, and humor. In 2020, amid the pandemic, we realized something important: after all these years, we had grown into the people we were meant to be. It was then that we could no longer deny what was right in front of us—we were a perfect match. (Mark, of course, figured this out before I did!) On August 2nd, Mark asked the question that would change everything, and we made it official. What began as a connection between work colleagues grew into a deep friendship, and then into the life we’ve built together today. Now, we’re thrilled to celebrate this incredible journey with all of you!
