Our Story
A few of the moments that brought us to a Friday evening in June. We’re still filling in the details — check back as they arrive.
- The beginning
How We Met
We met the way most good stories start — entirely by accident, and a little later than either of us expected.
Neither of us remembers who spoke first, and we have never agreed on the version we tell at dinner parties. The full story is coming soon.
The night we met - Not long after
The First Date
Dinner that ran long, then a walk that ran longer. We closed the place down and kept talking in the parking lot until it was unreasonable.
We still go back to that same table when we can. Restaurant name and date to come.
That first table - Somewhere along the way
The Trip
One long drive, a map we mostly ignored, and a week of the sort of quiet that tells you everything you need to know about a person.
It was the first time we said out loud that this was going somewhere. Where we went — and the photographs to prove it — coming soon.
On the road - The question
The Proposal
He had a plan. The plan lasted about four minutes. What actually happened was better, and considerably less rehearsed.
She said yes before he finished the sentence. We’ll fill in the where and the when here soon.
She said yes - 06 . 18 . 2027
What Comes Next
Friday, June 18, 2027 — seven o’clock in the evening, in the Irish Hills of Michigan, with the people who got us here.
That is the next chapter, and we would very much like you in it.
Irish Hills, Michigan
The Rest of It
Everything after this we get to write together — and we would rather not write it alone. Thank you for the years of dinners, long drives and unreasonable phone calls that got us here.
We’ll see you in Irish Hills.
