Tiara and Richie’s story started way back when they first met at the age of 8 and 9 years old when Richie moved to the little section of Plymouth called Manomet (aka the Met). He just so happened to move onto the street that Tiara’s cousins, the Shaughnessy boys, lived on. Richie and the boys became the best of friends and would hang out just about every day. Tiara, living about a mile away and often wishing she was one of the boys, would hang with the neighborhood crew just about every chance she could. This is where their friendship began, but little did they know such an innocent friendship would turn into being each other's soulmates for life.  Years down the road, when Tiara was graduating from high school, she all of a sudden realized that she liked Richie…as more than a friend. With a leap of faith, she shared her heart with him. Richie, shocked and delighted, discovered a love he hadn't known existed. They started officially dating a few weeks later, on July 10th, 2016.  Through high school prom, college graduation, job changes, moves, and a million other life events - they have stayed best friends. After 7.5 long years of dating, Richie finally proposed to Tiara at her favorite spot - the beach. It was everything she had ever dreamed of. They have shared eight years together, filled with a million cups of coffee, beach days, road trips listening to the best music, intensely researching the top food spots in every city that they have been to, failed attempts of Richie trying to teach Tiara how to skateboard, and failed attempts at Tiara trying to convince Richie to enjoy romantic period dramas. They are each other's best friends for life and they are living back in the same small section of Plymouth, the Met, where their love story first began. They are so grateful to be surrounded by their closest friends and family on their special day and can’t wait to see you at their wedding in June 2025!
