Our Wedding

Their story starts about 9 years ago when Meghan &amp; Rob moved to Nantucket to begin their summer jobs with the Nantucket Police Department. Just friends at the time, Meghan &amp; Rob supported each other on a daily basis and grew closer as time went on. What started with Meghan cooking dinner for Rob every night, they soon became each other's go-to person. In 2018 Robert officially began his career by starting the police academy. The six months came and went and Rob found himself calling Meghan every Friday to check-in and debrief about the week he just endured. He quickly discovered he could not go more than three days without talking to Meghan. The two decided they were simply better together. In October of 2018, Meghan began her academy experience with Rob supporting her every step of the way. April came and an exciting new chapter began in their lives when they moved in together. In June of 2023 came the greatest addition to their relationship, Ms. Olive, a spunky Bernese mountain dog who quickly became their pride and joy. During their time on Nantucket, they found connection in the quieter moments: walks along the beach at sunset, late-night conversations under the starry Nantucket skies, and, of course, their mutual love for their four-legged family member, Olive. Olive became the centerpiece of their growing bond, who reminds them every day to pause, breathe, and savor the joy of their journey. They felt so lucky that the backdrop of their early days was spent on the island of Nantucket. They have enjoyed many adventures together.. skiing, hunting, beach days, romantic dinners, road trips, Disney (we’re not Disney adults),and many many mudslides. In January of 2024 Rob got down on his knee and after coming back from a brief blackout, Meghan said yes. Now here we are, 9 years later and you’ve been there every step of the way. Please join Meghan &amp; Rob on September 13th, 2025 and celebrate them making this damn thing official! Cheers!
