Our Wedding

Our story starts in the fall of 2017. Ian was just beginning his sophomore year on the men's swim team at Fairfield University. Rachel, on the other hand, had just begun her freshman year on the women's swim team at Fairfield. From the very first team meeting during Rachel's freshman year, Ian was hooked. He made it his mission to convince Rachel to give him a chance, and there was absolutely nothing that could get in his way. Fast forward just one month later, and we were officially a couple. It's kind of funny how fate works. Rachel had no intention of ever attending Fairfield University until one of her now best friends, Delaney Walsh, suggested that Rachel attend a recruiting trip at the school. You could say that if not for that, we would have never met, however, we believe we were always destined to cross paths. From that point forward, it was clear that we had something special. We quickly moved on to new milestones, like saying I love you, meeting each other's parents, and going on trips together. It wasn't until 2021 that we faced our first true test of our relationship. Rachel was moving to Nashville, and Ian was moving into his brother Patrick's apartment in New York City. We had never spent more than a month apart prior to that point. Our year of long-distance only strengthened our bond and proved to us that it was meant to be. That year flew by, and finally, we got the opportunity to live together in Nashville, where we both still reside. Ian had known that he wanted to propose to Rachel in the summer of 2023, and he began figuring out how to do so shortly after they moved in together. On a hot weekend in May, Ian shared with his parents, John and Charlene, that he planned to propose to Rachel during their family's upcoming trip to Greece in August. After purchasing the ring and much planning, a diamond was placed on Rachel's finger at Bonis Windmill in Mykonos, Greece.
