We met walking our dogs in South Boston! We had lived right around the corner from each other for ten years in Southie. Our paths crossing hundreds of times unknowingly. In 2018 we both got dogs. Thomas brought Wilson home and Meredith brought home Maggie. We became dog park friends. The type of friend where you know someone and chat about their weekend, but don't actually know their name. Then in 2021, both working from home a lot more, we kept seeing each other out with our pups. Thomas was on a mission to find out Meredith's name. When LinkedIn turned up dry, he found her on Facebook of all places and sent the message with his phone number. Meredith texted him and when Thomas accidentally FaceTimed her, she picked up. Why not?! He is a nice, good looking guy. They went on their first date in November of 2021 to Castle Island Brewing. From there, it just clicked! In October 2023 Thomas proposed on the porch of our new house we are fixing up together, with the dogs there of course! Followed by a surprise engagement party at Castle Island Brewing.
