We're so excited to ( finally) celebrate with you!

That's more or less the advice Diana's friend gave to her when she was on the fence about attending Penn's 5 year reunion. Thankfully, she listened to that advice. Towards the end of Ken Kweder's set at the reunion, Diana and Ed were introduced via a mutual friend, Katie Glowa. After the customary ten days, Diana finally saw her phone ring with a call from "Ed Penn." One order of cheese curds at Night Market, a pitstop to the local dive Handlebar, the soft opening of Morgan's Pier (that's all the first date), a 10,000th day birthday party at Kung Fu Necktie, and some self-deprecating bowling jokes at Jose Pistola's Xtreme Homebrew Fest later and it was obviously a perfect match. Add six and a half years of the most amazing and fun times, connecting deeper with each other's family and friends, and exploring Philadelphia and the rest of the world and it was clear we'd be spending the rest of our lives together. Yet, somehow, it was still such an enormous surprise to Diana when Ed proposed at Lemon Hill. She really just wanted a drink at the ice bar while viewing a sculpture of cheese made in Gritty's likeness, but Ed had to go and make it romantic. Then COVID came along and started throwing wrenches at our plans like a scene out of Dodgeball. Ultimately, on 9/19/20 we had a wonderful Quaker ceremony with a small group of local family and friends at the Valley Green Inn. But we were disappointed to not be able to share it with everyone that we wanted to. We've learned to enjoy life as much as possible, so why not get together with those you love because there's always a reason to celebrate. So coinciding with our 15th year reunion weekend and marking 10 years since that fateful meeting, we're beyond excited to head back to the Valley Green Inn for a night of food, drinks and dancing and to finally get to party with everyone!
