Our Celebration

Sandy, a vegetarian at the time, was deep in conversation with her girlfriends when she was distracted by something that smelled amazing. Turns out it was the rib-eye steak that Miles was eating at the same restaurant. Being a Southern gentleman, he offered them a bite. Though she declined, he insisted in working his way into their conversation.

Miles and Sandy planned a fall trip to Nantucket for the Cranberry Festival but Mother Nature did not make it so easy. Tropical Storm Melissa cancelled ferry crossings but they were eventually able to get there on rough seas, standing room only. After the skies cleared, on a lovely Autumn afternoon, Miles asked Sandy to marry him. The sparkle of her ring and the smiles on their faces gave their story away on the sunny ferry ride back to the mainland.

Like many couples, the pandemic threw a few monkey wrenches into Miles & Sandy's many plans. They wanted to have all their friends and families and be safe, too. Not knowing when that time would come, they took advantage of a fishing trip that Sandy's brother, Doug, was having up North. They asked the Governor for a one day marriage designation for when Doug would be in town and booked a local burrito/tequila restaurant on a Wednesday night. With 15 people and a few family members over video, Doug pronounced them husband and wife.
