Our story began with "You look like a monkey".

I'll explain -- we met in September of 2014 in college at UMass Amherst during my freshman year and Alan's sophomore year. We were celebrating his birthday on Sept 25th with our college fellowship group. I drew him a monkey on the chalkboard in a classroom along with a Happy Birthday message. He was very confused when he saw that but that is how we became best of friends right away sharing a mutual love of mischief, dad jokes, and God.

Fast forward eight years later, we both kept in contact during those years and only then we decided to give this friendship we had begun a different title. From baking chocolate chip cookies together and burning miserably, we’ve shared laughter, adventures even moving to a different state together, and a deep appreciation for the little moments.

We’re so excited to celebrate the next chapter of our lives with the people who mean the most to us—you! Thank you for being part of our journey and for filling our lives with love, joy, and support.

With love, T & A
