We met the old-fashioned way: a dating app! Our first date was at the now-defunct Down The Road Brewery in Everett, MA. In what would become a reoccurring theme in our relationship, Coda joined us. We hit it off comparing Spotify playlists, talking about cooking, Usher, the Red Sox, and of course, dogs. After a spontaneous pizza making date, a cheese festival, and a Carly Rae Jepsen concert, we knew we had something special.

We planned a much-needed trip to the Cape in May 2021, after spending months (and months...) in our 717 square foot apartment. The forecast was... terrible, but we were excited nonetheless. On the first night of the trip, the clouds cleared out and we found ourselves at Mayflower Beach for sunset. Sean was hiding a 3 inch tall ring box in his pocket, and he got down on one knee and popped the question! We took some engagement selfies, made a beeline to Sundae School before it closed, and spent the weekend celebrating with friends and spreading the news! We are both so excited, and can't wait to celebrate with friends and family in 2022!
