How We Met

College Sweethearts

We were both working for our University dining services in Providence, Rhode Island, where we officially met in 2015 and had an instant friendship from the start. While CJ had taken on a management roll for the JWU Dining Department, both of us kept ending up working together while pursuing our fields. We had an instant connection and when Summer 2016 hit, our feelings for one another really came to fruition and everything felt natural, right and as if we had known each other for so many years. We discovered our mutual love for Sushi, sarcasm and red wines, a fantastic blend! While knowing our families live on opposite sides of the country, we always made it a mutual priority to make the best family memories, including our own (with our fur babies of course). Well, fast track 3 years into our relationship, one year of long distance dating, we managed to settle in the Granite State- New Hampshire, where we have continued to thrive in our careers and share our passions together in a lovely little cut out of New England. Together we have managed to move states, take on two adorable rescues and establish a little home of our own to start. We have been best friends for 7 years, together now 6 and engaged for 1 year. Happiness is an understatement for sure. With each passing moment, it only gets more fun, adventurous, loving and definitely....humorous!

Where They Are Now

Tying The Knot

After living three years so far in New Hampshire, Paula has continued to work in the Human Service field, alongside the Merrimack School District Special Services Department and the Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester NH. CJ has continued to grow for Steritech Inc. and become one of their most seasoned Food Safety Auditors across the Boston region. While we continue to experience adulthood, new adventures and compromises together, we know we have been ready for that next step. It's time for our two worlds to finally come together, and for us to share it all with you!
