Our Wedding

In May 2019, Megan and Patrick met at a mutual friend's wedding anniversary party, hosted in Poconos, PA. (Little did they know that the celebration of their friends' big day, would turn into their own celebration).

How We Met

At the time they met, Megan and Patrick were living 2.5 hours apart in different states. Megan was living and working in Salisbury, MD and Patrick in Manayunk, PA. Because of this distance, each spent the first 2 years of their relationship commuting back and forth to spend time together. To note, these commutes involved very early departures back to work on Monday mornings, as the two were deeply in love and hated saying goodbye to one another. One year into the relationship, the COVID-19 pandemic began.While social distancing was in effect, Patrick was able to visit Megan and work remotely in Maryland. While isolating together, both Megan and Patrick were able to spend time together watching favorite movies, going for walks around the duck pond, and trying out new dinner recipes. They even were able to socialize with friends via online video chat and play online games together.

Long Distance

In March 2022, Megan and Patrick moved into their first apartment in Conshohocken, PA. They chose this location due to the cute local community and close access to the beautiful outdoor Schuylkill River Trail (SRT). After settling in, Megan and Patrick soon built a small list of favorite restaurants and local spots. When not out and about, both can be caught listening to cocktail jazz at home (Nat King Cole Trio is a favorite) and doing crossword puzzles with a holiday scented candle lit. (For all you non-Philly people, it's pronounced "Con-sha-hock-in") :)

The Big Move

On February 4, 2023, Patrick proposed to Megan on the beach in Cape May, NJ (one of their favorite vacation spots). The proposal happened in front of the Cape May Lighthouse, surrounded by white roses under a beautiful white canopy. Earlier in the day, Patrick informed Megan of their plans to visit the Cape May Lighthouse for a tour (knowing the lighthouse was closed due to inclement weather). Following a stroll in Cape May's Washington Square, Patrick drove them both to the lighthouse for their "scheduled tour". Upon arrival, Patrick acted shocked and embarassed that the lighthouse was closed "due to the inclement weather." Shortly after, Patrick suggested the two walk towards the beach to get a photo of the Fort Miles Battery #223 for Megan's grandfather. At the beachfront, Patrick pointed to a cute little picnic set-up on the sand. Patrick guided Megan over to it and then got down on one knee to ask her to marry him. During the proposal, a photographer captured pictures of them celebrating this special occasion. Phone calls to family members followed shortly after to share the exciting news. Notably, Megan and Patrick were able to share this special moment with Megan's grandfather, who had passed away a few months later.
