It all began in the spring of 2019, in a humid, run-down gym at UMass Amherst. Our friends had put together an intramural volleyball team, and we met at our very first game of the season. During those early weeks, we discovered that we’d actually lived in the same dorm for nearly a year without ever crossing paths. But from that first game on, our paths kept crossing. And we started finding excuses to make sure they did. Before long, it was late-night ice cream runs at Sweets N’ More, off-campus poke bowl adventures, and study sessions in the Baker lounge. Somewhere in between all that, something undeniable started to grow. And then — thanks to one of our close friends who not-so-subtly let it slip that Emma had a crush on Billy — the rest, as they say, is history. Fast forward more than six years, and we’ve built a life filled with love, laughter, countless road trips across New England, and endless joy thanks to our dog Indie’s many quirks. Today, we’re beyond grateful to turn the page to a new chapter in our story: our wedding. We are so thankful to have each of you here to celebrate it with us!
