Dating during a world-wide crisis was difficult.

Michael and Alli met in the midst of it– online–and, after so much banter, met for the first time at the Backyard Brewery in Londonderry, NH.

Michael and Alli talk often of how instant their chemistry was, and how easy the connection felt. Was there karaoke after dinner? Maybe.

These two made it official pretty soon after.

Michael later proposed on the shoreline of Newport, Rhode Island in perhaps the biggest surprise of Alli’s life.

And here we are! A few years later, celebrating this gathering of all of our family and friends to become one family.

We are so happy to have you all join us on this day. The gift is truly to have you all together!

Love,

Michael, Alli
