It’s reminiscent of a fairytale.

Or a daydream.

Or one of those love stories you can’t help but ravenously read.

Yes, it’s all those things.

Except it’s also real life.

Vibrant and captivating and real.

This is the story of Grace and Aaron.

They met at Ithaca College near the southern shores of Cayuga Lake in New York.

That was sophomore year.

But like any good love story, a lot happened before the two became one.

She was a barista. He was a regular.

She rode horses. He raced cars.

She studied in Australia. He travelled the country.

She pined for Aaron. He pined for Gracie.

And then finally (finally!) they came together senior year.

But they loved each other long before that.

Nowadays home is Boston.

It’s baking and globetrotting and stargazing.

Snowboarding and dining and drifting.

And it’s the joy of knowing that it’s all meant to be.

Gracie and Aaron met by the water.

They’re marrying by the water.

Their lives flow like water. Here, there, and perfectly into place.

Seeing the world.

Savoring the now.

Scheming their next amazing adventure together.

And always tucking love for one another into every little nook of every day.

And so yes, dear reader, the story of Gracie and Aaron certainly feels like a fairytale.

And we’re their court, lucky enough to pay witness to their vows of love and eternity.

Join us, won’t you, on the coast of Cape Ann on the 31 st of May 2027?

When they say "I do".
