We're getting married!

They met back in 2014 while Meaghan was living in Harrisonburg, Virginia finishing up her senior year at JMU and Javi (who is from Virginia) was working as a Spanish-Interpreter for JMU. Their first date was at the Starbucks in the on-campus library - and yes, Javi did buy her coffee! The dates continued after that, with lots of trips to the university gym, local restaurants in Harrisonburg, hikes in the Shenandoah Valley - and even a few trips to Massanutten Ski Mountain. After Meaghan graduated and moved back home, she & Javi decided they were pretty interested in each other (haha!) and wanted to give that long-distance dating thing a shot. Those years were filled with lots of long-weekend visits, adventures, yearly Disney trips (of course!) - and it's safe to say they earned lots of SkyMiles with frequent flights between Boston & DC. Since 2019, Javi has been up in Boston - and they've built the best little life together! They love exploring the city, walking around Castle Island, checking out all the restaurants & breweries in Boston, going to the beach (especially M Street) in the summer, heading up north in the winter, spending time with family & friends and enjoying their neighborhood in Southie! On Saturday January 27, 2024, Javi popped the question – and it was the best sort of surprise 😉. It was a beautiful day - so that morning, Javi had asked if Meaghan wanted to go for a walk around Castle Island (which they do frequently on weekends), but she told him that she had just gotten off the waitlist for a yoga class in the Seaport – so she wanted to go to that, and suggested that they get breakfast and walk around the waterfront after. Little did she know that she was messing up his perfectly crafted proposal plan…but off to yoga she went! Javi dropped her off at her yoga class and afterwards they sat by the water with their bagels & coffee. They strolled around the Harborwalk area, walked around the piers checking out the boats, and once they were off in a secluded area down on the lower dock – Javi got down on one knee and proposed right there! **************************************************** We are so excited for this next chapter and cannot wait to have all our favorite people in Boston for the weekend to celebrate. Let the countdown to October 4th begin! Love, Meaghan & Javi
