Our Wedding

We met as most people did during the pandemic -- via a dating app. Though not the most romantic first connection, we had a lovely first date at Sugarbush, which has continued to play a key role in our relationship and life. After three first dates at Sugarbush and a bit of a misadventure on upper Linx, we dove into our relationship -- and coincidentally much driving back and forth from Vermont to West Virginia. Before long our adventures took us to Puerto Rico -- twice -- DC, Pennsylvania, Florida, Colorado, Canada, Colombia, Iceland, Utah, and Maine. Travel remains a cornerstone of our life and adventures. Up next: Morocco for the Honeymoon! We are grateful for our children for their flexibility and fun. Merging families is filled with new adventures and some challenges, but kind spirits and a sense of adventure (usually) prevail. (Come on, there are four of them between the ages of 10 and 16!) We are grateful for our adventures thus far. And we know our love will bring us many more miles, crossing our paths with family and friends near and far, and with lots of laughs.
