We first met on New Year's Eve in 2018 and quickly realized we had more in common than we expected. Not only did we share similar interests, but we also happened to work down the street from each other in Boston- Ashley as an accountant at PwC and Sean as a lender at Customers Bank. What started as occasional post-work runs around Castle Hill and visits to local breweries soon became a regular part of our routine, and before long, we knew we had something special.

Our first big adventure came in 2020, when we took a trip to Sedona, Arizona—right as the world was shutting down during Covid. Sean, always the adventurer, thought it would be fun to book a stay in a sheep wagon on remote Navajo land. No electricity. No bathroom. No showers. Ashley, ever the trooper, made the most of it—warming a pot of water over the fire for her "shower" while Sean enjoyed the full off-the-grid experience.

In true Sean fashion, buying a house wasn't just about finding a place to live- it was about taking on a challenge. When he found the perfect fixer-upper, he saw potential. Ashley saw a house with no kitchen, no shower, and a long road ahead.

With Sean leading the charge, they decided to gut the house entirely, transforming it from the ground up. For months, they lived through construction, navigating makeshift meals, cold showers (or no showers at all), and a constant layer of dust. Through it all, Ashley was a trooper-patiently enduring the chaos while Sean tackled each project with determination.

Looking back, the experience tested our resilience, teamwork, and sense of humor. Now, we have a home built together-one that's filled with love, memories, and, thankfully, a working kitchen and bathroom.

As the years passed, our love only grew stronger. We built a life together in Groton, MA, where we welcomed our four-legged best friend, Moose, into our family. Our days are now filled with forest walks, cozy mornings at our favorite coffee spots, and experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes (some better than others).

Now, as we take the next step in our journey, we can't wait to celebrate with all of you—our family and friends—who have been part of our story. We can't wait to see what the future holds, and we're so grateful to have you by our side!
