Our Wedding

There are slightly skewed versions of how we came to be depending on which one of us you ask (you can guess whose version is more accurate haha). It started at a Christmas party where we exchanged numbers after Meg took a picture of Nate wearing his ugly Christmas sweater. We officially started dating January 21st of our senior year of high school. As fate would have it four years of being in the same homeroom (thanks M last names), a few classes together and being in the same friend group finally brought us together as we were about to graduate and go far off to college (or so we both thought). We got to go to senior prom together, senior week, and do everything in the same friend group we had but as a couple making it even more special. St. E's was just the beginning of the past eight years together but we are forever thankful it was the start. After graduating high school we went to different schools and did one semester of long distance (everyone knows about Pittsburgh). Thankfully being homesick brought Meg home while Nate was at the University of Delaware. By junior year both of us were living down in Newark practically in each others backyards! We graduated in 2021 Nate from UD and Meg from Neumann that December. After college we both lived at home for a little which if you know North Wilmington we were practically five minutes up the road from each other. We took on our first jobs supporting each other in the finance world. Eventually in August of 2022 we moved into our first apartment (que the Arundel cats)! We lived in Pike Creek for two years where there are plenty memories from Doe Run Court and the cats that took over, quite literally everywhere. On our seventh year anniversary, January 21st, 2024 Nate proposed on the Riverfront. It felt right being our anniversary to begin our next chapter. The following weekend we hosted a huge gender reveal party but was two for one with celebrating our new engagement. It was a perfect winter day and being able to celebrate our relationship and new baby girl on the way with family and friends. We had the best 2024. With our engagement and Macy arriving in May we also bought our first house back in our North Wilmington roots in September that year. With all the craziness we finally got to the next step of our engagement - wedding planning! We picked Rosewood Farms where Nate had worked a few times and fell in love with the space. We picked January 24th to be close to our original anniversary date of the 21st.

If you are looking to shop intentionally or last minute if you forget something haha the Christiana Mall has tons of stores along with the Fashion Center right next door. It is about 10-15 minutes from Main Street. There’s Target, Marshall’s, Ulta, Trader Joe’s and even Costco to name a few!

The Newark Reservoir is within a five minute walking distance down the street and is great for walking or running. Once you get up the hill you overlook the city of Newark and can walk around the reservoir!
