Our Wedding

Karla and Tommy met in the unique world of online dating. Through an app, they had their first conversations; sharing their favorite TV shows, their love for Fall, and their mutual hatred of the Boston Red Sox. Ha Ha! They met for the first time on October 4th, 2020, when Karla suggested the pair go apple picking. A great idea in theory, but standing slightly above 5'0, Karla mostly stood still and pointed at the apples she wanted Tommy to grab. Although the date was more active than he imagined, Tommy knew he would like to see her again, so the pair made plans to make Apple Crisp later in the week. Eager to show off her baking skills, Karla started demonstrating how to make the dish. Of course, she sliced her finger peeling the first apple, so she went to the sidelines calling out instructions to Tommy. The two laughed as Tommy fumbled with basic chemistry, but their chemistry was undeniable. They officially started dating a couple months later, enjoying living in the same zip code, until Tommy left Maine in May of 2021, starting what would be a year of long distance. Through countless facetimes, many impromptu visits, and the companionship of Betty &amp; Runkle, they survived the year. After moving Karla into her apartment in Boston, Tommy realized he needed to be closer to her, and asked Karla to move in with him. Boston provided new opportunities and challenges for them, as they both worked from home in a small 1 bedroom apartment. While they loved exploring a new city, the constant rumblings of rats outside their door and lack of space made them miss Maine. They decided 10 months in Boston was plenty, and made their way back to their favorite place in March, 2023. From there, their relationship continued to blossom, enjoying all that Maine had to offer: nature, oceans, and ... no rats. A few months later they decided to add to their little family, adopting a 10 lb puppy named Milo who grew into the 90 lb lap dog you see today. This now trio has made some incredible memories, but the most life changing was October 12th, 2024 when they went apple picking for the first time since their first date. Thankfully, these trees were a little smaller, so Karla could reach a few apples, and on the last one she pulled, she turned around to see Tommy on one knee. August 2nd, 2025 will mark a new beginning in their journey, and hope everyone reading this can help celebrate!
