Haley and I were acquaintances at URI through mutual friends. We connected a few years after college and agreed to meet up for a walk at Blue Hills for what we thought would be a casual stroll turned into a five hour date. We didn’t want the date to end and I suggested, “I’d love to take you to dinner, but not sure if you heard the world is shutting down for two weeks today….” We both knew something special just happened and we both called friends to recap our day. From there we became inseparable and began exploring new places, hikes and tv series to binge. A year into our relationship we decided to move in together in Haley’s hometown, living 5 minutes from the beach was a really tough sell, not!! The adventures continued and on August 20th, 2022 I asked Haley if she would spend forever with me and she said yes!
