Welcome!

We were fortunate to meet each other the same way as our parents and so many in their generation before us did -- on Tinder. Jesse was drawn in by Zach's profile stating that he was a single father... of a Dalmatian named Ernie. We met soon after for ice cream at JP Licks in Boston, where Jesse went in for a hug and Zach a handshake, promptly knocking Zach's phone to the ground. Several weeks later, Jesse invited Zach and Ernie to meet his family in central Massachusetts before Jesse flew home to meet Zach's family a few months later (where his mom unsurprisingly began crying in the Southwest Terminal of the St. Louis airport). Our friend groups soon merged and the two of us eventually moved into a studio apartment together -- a true test of any relationship -- where we lived for 3 years before making the move halfway across the country to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We're thankful to have had one another to share some of our most important milestones, including weddings, funerals, graduations, new jobs, a new house, and the adoption of Ernie's sister, Joni. We now look forward to celebrating our biggest milestone yet with all of you in June 2022!
