Once upon a time, on an app called Hinge, a right swipe occurred. This was no ordinary right swipe but a magical one.....ALRIGHT. We met on hinge. We had our first drink together at Irish Times Pub in Holbrook. Emily gave Joe grief for being a Red Sox fan born and raised on Long Island, but after the third date, she knew for sure this was Joe's only major character flaw and she could work around it by absolutely ignoring it. Over the course of several months an agreement was made. In the future they would be an Islanders (most important) Jets (this is fine) and Yankees family---Joe had leaned in to Emily's only clear major character flaw as well. Most important though, way back in the beginning we knew we would form a family together. We have built the start of our life together with the love of our families and friends, our love of music and sports, Joe's tolerance of Emily's endless book collection, Emily's tolerance of Joe's endless stream of the PGA tour, and of course the addition of our sweet love Grover the Tibetan Terrier. We are both excited to be sharing this very special day with you all and cannot wait to ring in our marriage and the New Year all together!
