Jonny and Anna first met in May of 2010 at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY. Thanks to an encouraging friend, Jonny (just 2 weeks before graduating) introduced himself to Anna at the legendary Red Brick Bar. Jonny said he was from Boston. Anna politely corrected him. The rest is history.

After Jonny graduated, he moved back to Dedham, MA and Anna moved to Boston for the summer. Jonny asked Anna out to dinner and from then on they spent countless hours together. Jonny introduced Anna to all of his friends and taught her how to water ski at The Lake. Anna beat all of his friends in poker, introduced Jonny to her own family and friends, nursed Jonny's broken leg back to health, and dazzled Jonny with her quick wit.

Anna left for her last year of college in the Fall and Jonny moved to Manhattan. They dated long distance with Jonny frequently visiting upstate New York and re-living his glory years. After Anna graduated she moved back to Boston while Jonny stayed in Manhattan. He continued to visit her on Commonwealth Ave and she spent many hours on round-trip buses from Boston to NYC. Their relationship continued to blossom. Jonny decided to move back to Boston after about 2 years of being apart and eventually they found themselves, together at last, on Chiswick Rd.

After seven+ years of dating, Jonny finally popped the question! Anna knew something was up because she kept finding Jonny whispering in corners at parties and family events. Plus, he changed his phone password to hide the pictures of the engagement ring that he had been hiding for 4 weeks. On August 17, a beautiful summer night, Anna and Jonny walked along the reservoir near their apartment on their way to dinner. Anna was singing a song that had the lyrics "get on your knee", noticed Jonny was no longer next to her, turned around, and saw that Jonny was in fact on his knee proposing! Neither quite remember the exact words except "yes".

Over the years, Jonny and Anna have considered themselves to be extremely lucky to share life's big and little moments with each other. Together they've celebrated the marriages of friends and family, welcomed 6 beautiful nieces and nephews into the world, and have supported each other in times of sickness and health, loss and happiness. They've enjoyed weeks on The Cape and all over New England, treks to Georgia, the Bahamas, and Brazil, and countless summer days at The Lake. They've built a network of loyal and wonderful friends, had fabulous meals, laughed, played, experienced four Boston sports championships, and watched way too much Netflix.

Jonny and Anna cannot wait to celebrate their relationship and next phase in life together with you on 9/29/18 and can't wait to see what adventures await.
