We both attended Bishop Ireton High School albeit two years apart and had absolutely no interest in one another until the summer before Maureen's freshman year of college. During that summer, we played coed soccer together. Playing indoor soccer together was promising to be the beginning of something great, however, Maureen unfortunately moved across the country to Los Angeles for school. Fast forward to four years later, Michael reached out to a mutual friend of ours and discovered that Maureen was back in Virginia and happened to be at a bar that evening in Arlington. Without hesitation, Michael rallied his troops, traveled to the bar, and met Maureen at the top of the stair case with a smitten grin as big as the room! Our eyes met and our hearts knew that our life would change at this moment. Here we are nine years later celebrating our love story in a city where we have spent so many memorable moments together. We are both overjoyed to seal the deal with our family and friends in one of our favorite places.
