We usually tell people we met through friends or at a concert, when that simple explanation is not the most accurate. Our paths crossed several times before we even knew each other - at summer barbeques, creative writing workshops, and university campus housing events. It wasn't until more than a year after that first crossing that an introduction was made. Our best friends of the time put us in a group to travel across state lines to a concert, Sir Sly opening for K.Flay in Chicago. After the show, we got the chance to know each other just a bit more and Milo fell head over heels. Seven weeks and many strategic hang-outs later, Milo asked Joe to go steady and he said no. One week later, in the middle of a movie, he blurted out "okay, we can date now." Now, five years to the day, we're tying the knot and we can't wait to celebrate with you.
