We Do

Stephen and I met while working together in January of 2017. What started as casual conversations during lunch breaks & occasional happy hours quickly turned into something more. We bonded over shared interests, late-night shows, and inside jokes that only we understood. As the months passed, we realized there was something special between us—something that went beyond just being colleagues. Our first official date was an evening at City Line in Albany. It wasn’t exactly the most romantic spot, but it turned out to be unforgettable — filled with laughter, nervous excitement, and that rare kind of connection you only feel once in a lifetime. Months later, he confessed that the reason we ended up there was because, in his rush to pick me up, he’d forgotten his wallet and needed to go somewhere they knew him. Somehow, that little detail made the memory even more perfect — perfectly us. From that moment on, we were inseparable. We’ve supported each other through life’s highs and lows, new career paths, and built a life filled with love, trust, and plenty of coffee-fueled adventures. Now, after 8 incredible years and adding two more amazing children to complete our family of five, our love has deepened in ways we never imagined. We've grown not just as partners, but as a team, navigating life hand in hand—with little hands now holding ours.
