Seattle was supposed to be a quick, fleeting one or two years tops. Get the experience, and get the heck out of the west coast (somewhere neither of us ever expected to live). Thanks to an undergraduate Amazon cohort of 90 adults that weren't quite ready to be called that, our lives changed forever! Even though we met on July 11th, 2016, our story didn't begin until September 29th, 2017, when Clark crashed a cohort party he was not invited to. We spent most of the party together, chatting and then some dancing at a club (loose term for the word, club in Seattle standards) called Havana. Things escalated a few days later when Marina slid into Clark's DMs with a cheeseburger meme (you read that correctly) in GroupMe, because they didn't have any sort of contact information for each other (it was GroupMe or Skype for business, give her a break). A few months later, trash bags of Marina's clothes were slowly infiltrating Clark's apartment where he lived with his roommate (thanks for not kicking her out so early on @Ben and Jessie). And that was pretty much it. Thanks to friends that became family, we spent 6+ years in Seattle, and wouldn't change a thing. We're excited to celebrate our wedding with all the people we love, as we approach our 6 year anniversary on a fateful night where Clark, in classic Clark style, crashed a party. Simple as that. <3
