Reception

Our Wedding

Paul and Tara met in June 2012, and we spent our first date chatting about politics, bikes, and Game of Thrones and exploring our shared love of gin &amp; tonics. Since then, we've moved in together, made career changes, traveled, gained a niece and nephew, and improved our tennis game. Paul proposed in Medellín, Colombia in January 2016. Tara cried her eyes out, then spent the rest of the trip trying to use her very limited Spanish language skills to tell people they had just gotten engaged. (¡Estamos comprometidos!)
