It's a tale as old as time, true as it can be. Two hearts swiped right, found love at a French bistro under moonlight. Omicron was peaking, yet it couldn't stop their speaking. Ever smitten, ever steadfast, and ever just as sure a love could be so pure. Later, a 28-hour date sealed their destined fate. As forever soulmates, a life together they'd create.

It's a tale as old as time, with a modern twist. Across the city they moved, together but to prove. Busy season no match, for a love already hatched. Beyond the corporate feats, the ex-collegiate athletes would soon be complete. Certain as the sun, rising in the east, they set out for the Vineyard, one with a prefigure.

Aquinnah was the beach where they'd give their speech. Two rings were packed, doubling the impact. Kristin taken by surprise, Aimee's gentle kneel, a moment so surreal. A celebration with loved ones, a joy only in tons. A new life they would begin, as the future Dixons.
