Once upon a time, it was 2009-

Annie was in grad school In Boston,

Staci was in Jersey being awesome.

One day their mutual friends got in touch,

and thought the 2 of them would hit it off.

So they introduced them via the Interwebs,

and the story just gets better next.

They spoke for some time online-

and then met in the middle (in New Haven),

for sushi and some wine.

There were instant sparks and smiles galore.

It was clear they were smitten-

but their story was just getting written.

Staci drove to Boston ALLLL the time.

They took planes, trains and automobiles

just to be at each other's side.

After a year and a half, and so many laughs-

It was clear the next step was to move in together

and see if they could manage all of life's weather.

The years came and went

and life was not always easy

but being together made everything breezy.

They saw each other through new jobs,

degrees, hardships, and success.

They laughed and cried and

always pushed each other to their best.

In 2012, Annie secretly gathered friends in their house

After 4 years it was time to call each other spouse!

She got down on 1 knee and asked for Staci's hand

But Staci was wearing a hoodie, she didn't know this was planned!

The answer was YES!

OF COURSE IT WAS YES!!!

Together they knew they were always the best!

A few months later they were decorating the tree

and Staci hid a ring in the tree for Annie!

I'm sure you might be thinking this is a peculiar thing.

But when there's 2 girls, there must be 2 rings!

It took some time for them to finally plan the big day

but now here we are, just a few months away!

And we invited you all, because we love you so much,

and want to spend our special day

with you crazy bunch!

To start the next chapter in our life together,

and make more amazing memories

in our never-ending story of HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
