Like all good love stories, ours starts in Worcester, MA where we met at The College of the Holy Cross. On the third night of Freshman year, we shared a kiss on a lawn chair outside on Caro St. After Bridget left, I leaned into a friend next me and said "I'm going to marry that girl". And now here we are! In 2017/18, Bridget decided to study abroad in Galway Ireland for the whole year, and I trailed, spending my Spring Semester in Dublin. Memories we made that year, drinking Guinness in cozy Irish pubs, spending Valentines Day below the Edinburgh Castle, and traveling through the mountains of Austria, will always be among some of our best. After graduating Holy Cross in Spring '19, we moved down to Charlotte, NC where I took my first job and Bridget went off to nursing school. Weeks before COVID-19, we adopted Ali girl, who everyone knows we're obsessed with. In Spring 2023, we decided to take a chance, and moved out west to Manhattan Beach, CA where we currently live, and enjoy endless sunny days on the Pacific Coast. On the morning of December 16th, over coffee and word games, we got engaged! The first trip we made upon moving to California, was up the coast to Carmel-by-the-Sea, and we immediately fell in love with the town. Carmel holds a special place in our hearts and we can't wait to share it with you all! From meeting in Worcester to spending Christmases in Quincy & Charleston, traversing Europe, exploring countless places in the US: Outer Banks, Asheville, Joshua Tree, trips to NYC to see friends and making homes in Charlotte + Manhattan Beach, locations have played a large role in our lives. We look forward to spending our special day, in a special place, with special people.
