Rachel: "Dare I say... Kristen slid into my Snapchat DMs..."

But before that happened, Kristen & Rachel both went to Plymouth State University and being a part of the athletic world, knew each other through some mutual friends. With Kristen being 5 years older, they never went to school at the same time but saw each other from time to time and even somehow got each other's phone number (neither of them remember how that happened!). They kept up with each other on social media throughout the years but it wasn't until the late fall of 2019 that they started connecting more. Rachel finally agreed to go on a date after Kristen's several (SEVERAL) attempts of asking.

Throughout the years, they’ve simply enjoyed being with each other. From coffee shop exploring, weekend getaways, or curling up on the couch with their pride & joys (cats, Kinsler & Otto) they’ve learned they don’t want to spend their lives without the other. They’ve been asked through this wedding process what word best describes their relationship… The perfect word they’ve settled with is balance. And if you know them, balance just makes sense.

Something that Kristen and Rachel value in life is the importance of friendship. Not just within their relationship but the people they surround themselves with.

“We can’t wait to celebrate our love with the people we love. We feel so lucky to have a community that supports us and genuinely wants to be a part of our day. Cheers to September 21, 2024!”

With love,

Kristen & Rachel
