Our Wedding

In 2022, Angie and Karissa matched on a dating app and slowly became friends. What started as casual conversations quickly turned into something much bigger, even if Angie did not realize it at first.Later that year, after plans fell through with her father, Angie invited Karissa to attend the Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison, and Joan Jett &amp; The Blackhearts concert with her — a 10-hour rock-and-roll extravaganza that also happened to be the very first time they met in person. From the moment they arrived to the moment they dropped each other off at their cars that night, the two were side by side the entire time. Karissa considered it their first date immediately. Angie, however, remained completely oblivious.That obliviousness lasted until 2023 when Angie casually mentioned wanting to go to a Fall Out Boy concert and Karissa instantly bought tickets for the two of them. Even while fighting a cold and surviving on three bottles of Emergen-C, Angie had the best time — and somewhere between the music and the memories, she realized she was falling for Karissa. It was also the first time Angie had ever experienced feelings like that for a woman.On July 3rd, after exactly one margarita (which is apparently one too many when you are a lightweight), Angie finally confessed her feelings to Karissa… while Karissa was at work. Naturally.The very next day, on July 4th, they officially went on their first date. Karissa immediately campaigned for July 4th to become their dating anniversary because “it would be easy to remember,” and Angie eventually agreed.About a month and a half later, Karissa was introduced to Angie’s entire family at Angie’s brother’s wedding in New Hampshire. The trip became one of their favorite memories together, and they still talk about it to this day. Since then, the two have been inseparable — attending family gatherings, concerts, sports games, graduations, and every major milestone side by side. Whether it meant long drives, late nights, or busy schedules, they always found their way back to each other. Somewhere along the way, they stopped being two separate people and became a team.On October 13th, they officially filed the paperwork to get married, and on October 14th, they became wives. Karissa may have claimed July 4th as their dating anniversary, but Angie proudly claims October 13th as their wedding anniversary for one very important reason: every now and then, they get a Friday the 13th wedding anniversary in October.Since then, they have built a life full of laughter, concerts, adventures, and unconditional love — and they cannot wait to celebrate the next chapter surrounded by the people they love most.
