JM and Megan met at a house party hosted by their mutual friends, Amanda and Bart. From across the rooftop terrace, JM clocked Megan as a tiny, exotic girl from Europe. Megan, meanwhile, pegged JM as a cute, funny New York character with excellent hair. As the night unfolded, we found ourselves in the same group conversation. (Plot twist: Amanda was actually trying to set JM up with someone else.) But the chemistry was undeniable, and soon enough, it was clear that we were the ones making a love match that night. The night flew by with flirty sarcastic banter, silly jokes and weird dances with a pool floaty. It was love at first laugh—and to this day, JM still breaks out into those weird dance moves in the kitchen for a laugh. Since then, we’ve weathered many storms together—literal hurricanes, a near brush with bedbugs, a pandemic, and more vet visits than we can count for our beloved dog, Max. But no matter what life has thrown at us, we’ve come out the other side stronger, funnier, and even more in love. So one evening, mid-toothbrushing (as all major life decisions are made), we looked at each other and said, “Why the hell not?” After 14 years, we figured it was time to get married. This thing just might work out. This June 18th, we’ll mark our anniversary by exchanging vows in a small ceremony on the same rooftop terrace where it all began. And then?! We’ll head to a big, joyful celebration with all of you—our favorite people—who’ve cheered us on, laughed with us, and made our life together that much sweeter. Thank you. We love you. ~ Megan & JM
