Our Journey

From "schoolmates" to "slainte"

The year was 2012. We met at a friend's party on Ohio State's campus, as so many great love stories begin. After some banter and realizing we may not share the same music taste (but did connect on a deep love for sports and our hometown of Cleveland), a friendship began. This turned into a romantic love that carried us through our time as Buckeyes, long distance between Columbus and Philadelphia, and into our adult lives in Grandview. There were visits to the Liberty Bell, booty-shaking concerts, trips out West, trips abroad to our ancestral countries, time in the Caribbean, and exploring the Midwest. We built a family of three with Peach, celebrated dozens of friends' weddings, leaned on each other during family funerals, celebrated siblings' graduations and weddings, attended a scary-high number of sporting events, and high-fived our ways through many job transitions. Through the rollercoasters of growing up in our 20s and entering our 30s, the constant has been our love, loyalty and friendship. We are excited to say we are husband and wife and raise a glass in honor of the people that have been there along our journey -- that includes you!
