1. We were born in the same hospital in Ridgewood, NJ (just a couple of years apart) 2. We met at the J.Parker in Chicago when Owen was visiting in the fall of 2014 to cheer on Michelle for the marathon... Owen proposed here four years later (thanks, Michelle!) 3. Our second date was at Harry Potter world in Orlando, we figured why ease into it 4. True to our Jersey roots, we’re self-declared pizza and bagel connoisseurs 5. Liz is Owen's newest friend in his wedding party and Vanessa's oldest friend in either wedding party (hard to beat since she's known Vanessa since she was born) 6. We share a love of karaoke… you can find us performing for whoever will watch at Wok and Roll in DC, seriously just show up 7. We both have extensive collections of fun socks - the socks featured below were from Vanessa our first Christmas together
