We met during our freshman year at Paul Smith’s College where we had the same first-year seminar class, lived across the hall, and somehow didn’t manage to drive each other nuts (right away). Our friend groups blended into one big, happy chaos, and we became best friends almost instantly. We clicked over sports, being outside, and never passing up an opportunity to make fun of each other. Some of our best memories didn’t come from the classroom (sorry, professors), but from getting wonderfully lost in the Adirondacks. We’re at our best when we’re being a little competitive — whether it's who can eat the most ice cream, who hits the best shot in pickleball, or who catches the bigger fish (hint: usually not Mattie) . These days, we spend our time traveling, fishing, skiing, going to concerts, cheering (sometimes yelling) at the Yankees, and hanging out with our very spoiled, very loved Rhodesian Ridgeback, Ruca. In the spring of 2023, we bought our first home in Glens Falls. It’s where we spend lazy Sundays, fix things that may or may not have needed fixing, and plot our next adventure. One of those adventures came over Memorial Day Weekend in 2024, when Mattie proposed to Paige at a favorite fishing spot — just before sunset, next to a waterfall in the Adirondacks. And now? We’re getting married! We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you, the people who’ve been part of our story so far.
