Our story began much like your typical rom com. The year was 2015, we were 20 and living in Europe, and we locked eyes across a very questionable bar (shout out Das Boot). Ah to be young, drunk, and in love.

All joking aside - this is exactly how it happened. We met the first week while studying abroad in Luxembourg, our junior year at Miami University (MUDEC Mergers baby!!). Between spending our days together at the Chateau and traveling most weekends as a group, it wasn't long before we realized that this may not be just young, college kids "hanging out". After traveling to 14 countries together that semester, we returned home where we soon introduced each other to our family and friends.

After graduating from Miami in 2017, we moved to Chicago with our amazing dog, Maggie May. In that time we have shared two apartments, many laughs and adventures, and finally bought our first home! Fast forward to July of 2023, eight years after meeting in that very questionable bar, Brian proposed to Kate during an early morning walk on the lakeshore in Chicago.

We cannot wait to party with you all and look forward to creating lasting memories together. Thank you for being a part of our special day! Slàinte!
