After some time of getting to know one another, and having our first date at a local restaurant, our first date felt like we had been friends for a long time.

Dating felt easy and joyful from the start. Weekends became mini-adventures: hiking nearby trails in the fall, exploring trails and waterfalls in New Hampshire, and winter storms in Vermont. We have supported each other through small victories and learned how to apologize and listen when things were hard.

Troy proposed on Valentine's Day after watching a movie together, completely surprising me by placing a little ring box in my hand!

It was simple and perfect — exactly like us. We’re excited to celebrate our wedding on January 9, 2027, in Brockton, Massachusetts with the people who mean the most to us. Thank you for being part of our story; we can’t wait to make more memories together.
