Our love story begins upon a warm June morning with a drunken slap to the face in the middle of an open alleyway for all to see. No, it wasn’t either of our faces being slapped (or either of our hands doing the slapping), but it was the sort of absurd experience that leads to two strangers sharing a look, a smile, a laugh, some commentary, and eventually a life together. Call it fate, destiny, kismet, the circle of life, or simply the conservation of relational mass, but much like the stars that pepper the universe, one couple’s implosion led to another couple’s formation. Soon after (and what each of us later admitted to fearing was much too soon) we departed on a sixteen day road trip, and what could have chafed and broken apart the fledgling bond between us, instead ended up cementing our relationship and becoming an irreplaceable and foundational part of our larger journey together. Since then we’ve been pretty much insufferable – I mean inseparable, supporting, consoling, challenging, and loving each other every step of the way. This next chapter in our story is one that we are excited to share with you – our friends, family, and loved ones, all of who have affected our lives and played a role in helping shape us into who we are today and where we’ll be on September 28th, 2019.
