How we met

First comes theater school, then come marriage

Brody and Mary met back in 2014! It was the first day of freshman year and they both walked into their first class called scenic design! They sat next to each other and sparked conversation. While we would love to say the rest is history, it's a bit more complicated than that! After graduation they went a few years without talking until Mary noticed Brody was “stalking” her on Instagram. After a few weeks and text messages to her best friend Julia, Mary decided to reach out! They texted each other and later decided to meet for lunch at the 99, after that lunch date Mary went to Julia's work and said I’m gonna marry that boy! Now almost five years later she is!

How we got engaged

April 25,2025

We decided we wanted to get our annual anniversary pictures done! Mary had the fun idea to make a trip out of it and go to New Hampshire for a few days! The first day we got there we stayed in Hampton Beach and enjoyed walking down the beach and finding a new restaurant for us to try! During our first day Brody suggested that we stayed another night since we would be too tired to drive home after our pictures! Mary thought it was a great idea and we found another place to stay! On day two we headed for Portsmouth New Hampshire and explored the downtown area! We later went back to the hotel room and got ready for our pictures, once we were done getting ready we headed to dinner! We also headed to Clark's trading post were Brody got a raccoon hat and Mary was so annoyed he didn't get her a souvenir! When it was time to get our photos done we headed into downtown Portsmouth, Brody insisted on bringing his jacket even though it was eighty degrees out! Of course Mary got annoyed and harassed him about it until they ended up at the top of the parking garage overlooking a church! Morgan our photographer told Mary to face one way and turn around when she said go. Once Mary turned around Brody was down on one knee asking her to marry him! Once it all clicked she thanked him and asked to call her mom! After the photo were done we headed to Cumberland farms to grab snacks and call all of our favorite people!
