Lisa's version goes like this...

Just about 10 years ago, on March 7, 2015, my friend Karen, who had recently married a very nice guy, set me up on a blind date with a good friend of her husband's, who she claimed was also a "very nice guy." Of course I required that Karen (and Tim) attend said date, because let's face it -- it was a blind date. And if I had to take off my sweatpants and miss out on a Saturday night full of watching reality tv while eating a pepperoni pizza, well she was going to have to endure this as well.

But Karen and Tim were smart. They put together a foolproof plan (aka: liquor) to ensure the night would be a success -- which included mai tais (a hibachi dinner), cheap beers (glow bowling), not as cheap beers (the (Concord) Cheers basement bar, where John and I officially became Facebook friends), and margaritas (a late night snack at their house). Let's just say it was a good thing Lisa didn't have to work the next day! And also a good thing that John gets to nap on the job. (Kidding, kidding...)

And here we are -- three presidential elections, one law degree, and a global pandemic later... John took matters into his own hands and decided it was time to make this official! He proposed on December 29, 2023 (to a VERY shocked Lisa) while we were all on vacation at the Mount Washington. Even though his plans to involve Kennedy (too busy hanging out with Gagi), Audrey (too busy doing some homework), and Jack (too busy using the facilities) didn't work out, it was a proposal that ended up being just perfect for me. And so it was only appropriate to celebrate our wedding day at the same place -- 18 months later, and with all our family and friends together!
