[ June 2014 ] We both grew up in Hopkinton but never really crossed paths in high school. In 2014 Stephen reached out to me, out of the blue. I had just moved back home after college and he was living in Somerville but with his invite, I decided to go down to see him on his birthday weekend. Almost every weekend after that we spent together... and the rest, they say, is history!
[ June 2017 ] Before a supposed weekend in New York City to celebrate his birthday, we had plans to get dinner in Newburyport with his cousins. About ten minutes from our destination, his cousins explain that their sitter can't get to them until an hour from then (all part of the plan!) and much to my frustration Stephen attempts to come up with ways we can kill time, one of them was grabbing a couple of beers and sitting on the beach. After a few (hehe) complaints from me along the way, we ended up walking down the beach at sunset and the next thing I knew he was down on one knee and when I finally came to I said YES! Happiest moment of my life. We could not be more excited to celebrate the beginning of this next chapter with you all. See you soon! Can't wait, can't wait!
