When a global pandemic forced the world to shut down, our story was just beginning.

We met in Morgantown, WV and started dating on August 14, 2020. After a few short but crazy months, we both came back home to Maryland and decided to move in together after Sydney graduated nursing school. Being a new couple in the midst of a pandemic was challenging, but it allowed us to spend a lot of quality time together and really get to know each other deeply.

The start of 2021 brought big changes as we both found ourselves starting new careers. Mason accepted a sales position at Coca-Cola and Sydney began her new grad nurse residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD. Later that fall, we chose to move to Baltimore to be closer to Sydney's work. We stayed in Baltimore working and ~dating~ for 18 months and met many great friends along the way. In June of 2023, Sydney took a break from work which gave us the opportunity to move to Ocean City, MD for the summer. We packed up our rental, placed over half of our stuff in storage, and moved into Sydney's childhood beach condo on 28th street. At the time, we had no plans for the fall. Or so Sydney thought…

On October 28, 2023, Mason ran in the inaugural Ocean City marathon. After finishing 26.2 miles, he got down on one knee and proposed on the beach in front of our closest friends and family. We stayed in Ocean City for a few months as Sydney continued to work as a travel nurse in Delaware, but we knew we had our minds set on buying a home. On January 31, 2024 we settled on our very first home in White Plains, MD.

Our story has been one of adventure, love, and incredible memories. We are so blessed to have everyone and everything that has gotten us to this point, and we can't wait to celebrate this day with you.
