Although we are both alumni of Providence College (Go Friars!), it wasn't until after graduation that we crossed paths. Our story began thanks to a bit of luck, a PC hockey game, and a mutual friend from college. Our first date was at the Thinking Cup, a café in downtown Boston. A surprise to no one who knows her, Rachel was “fashionably late,” but Tim stuck around and tried out every table in the café until he found the perfect spot! Living in Boston, we spent our early days together exploring the city and escaping to the Cape and Connecticut on weekends. Summers meant off-roading on Cape Cod beaches, while winters were for ski trips and trying out the latest board games with family and friends. On June 3, 2023, although the rainy weather was not ideal for a beach day, Tim was still able to convince Rachel to go off-roading at Race Point Beach in Provincetown. Surrounded by a couple of our closest friends (and approximately 50 seals), Tim popped the question. Rachel said yes without hesitation! Shortly after, we returned to the Najarian’s Cape house where both of our families were eagerly awaiting to toast to our future together. Now, as we look forward to our wedding day on January 18, 2025, we're excited to continue our journey together and create more memories with all of you!
