Our Wedding

A 🐝 success story! We matched and figured out that we went to the same gym (who actually suggested the first date is still up for debate). On a December night we met for the first time at Giuseppe &amp; Sons. Fiona was slightly early and Max was fashionably late (still a pattern today). Max saw the back of Fiona’s head at the center of the bar and did an entire lap before deciding not to turn around and try again another time. Fiona asked Max to get another drink at A.bar and the rest is history. Max walked her home and the next week they spent a day at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and went on a double date before saying goodbye for the holidays (Max insisted on a mid-day coffee date before Fiona drove back to Vermont and he flew down to Florida for two weeks). When we got back from the holidays, Fiona was getting ready to move across the street but Max noticed she hadn’t packed at all and had no moving boxes. Two days before her moving date, she told him, “I’ll just order them!” Max did not believe her, drove to the U-Haul store, and dropped them off at her apartment building even though Fiona told him she didn’t need them (she really did need them!). Max also helped her move (including insisting that she get rid of a pan so burnt that he was brave for continuing the relationship). Even though they had only known each other a few weeks, Max invited Fiona to join him on his company’s retreat to Costa Rica. Even though she thought it was a bit crazy, she said yes and they had a wonderful time horseback riding, white water rafting, and exploring beaches and hot springs (thanks Magnolia!). Since then, we have traveled, moved in together, adopted a wild Australian Cattle Dog named Irwin, hiked, and explored Philadelphia. We are so excited for all the future memories to come and looking toward to celebrating our wedding with you all!
