Our Story

Photos

Michelle and Lily first met at the old age of 3 at Silver Spring Child Care Center. They have many a dance recital photo together and were known for being inseparable in high school. The two even won the 'Best Friends' award in their senior yearbook. Now, you can find Michelle on the road traveling somewhere new or hanging with her cat, Callie.

Claude has played a large role in both Tim and Lily's lives since high school. He is responsible for introducing the couple and, eventually, (not so subtly) pushing the two towards their first date. If you are looking for an embarrassing story of Tim or Lily, Claude probably has one. Today, Claude lives with his wife, Emilee, daughter, Alex, and their dog, Bean, and serves in the U.S. Army. You can find him yelling at the TV cheering on the Baltimore Ravens on any given Sunday.

Sasha and Lily first met in high school and the laughs have not stopped since. From concerts at 16 to U Street bars at 21, the two have been on many adventures. Now, the two keep up with each other through constant voice memos on everything from work drama to funny memories. Sasha now lives in London and you can find her shopping, traveling, or trying out the cute bar down the street.

Blake and Tim have been friends for almost 2 decades. The two have gone from teammates to roommates to staying in touch through daily memes, despite being on different coasts. Many memories have been had over pints of beer and shots of Jameson. Today, you can find Blake on the West Coast spending time with his fiancee, Austin, cheering on her son at his soccer games. Otherwise, you can catch him overseeing a construction site or at his favorite brewery in San Diego cheering on the Commanders.

Emily, or 'Makar', as she was known in college, and Lily met through Sigma Delta Tau at Pitt and still connect through volunteering for their sorority together. You can often find them reconnected in Pittsburgh for homecoming or taking day-trips to visit each other in Philly/DC. Emily recently graduated from law school and is busy planning her own June 2025 wedding.

Dimitri, or as he is know by friends, 'Meech,' was Tim's first workout partner in high school, over a decade ago. The two have since created many memories traveling for annual 'beach week' trips, trading nostalgic high school stories, and rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles. Meech may be best know for his contagious laugh. You can catch him, today, zooming around on his electric skateboard or spending time with girlfriend, Kate.

Growing up as an only child, Lily used to tell people she wished she had a younger brother and an older sister that liked her. Though that might not have been in the cards, she is lucky enough to have a soon to be sister-in-law who has welcomed here with open arms. Tim often still tells fond stories of his younger sister coming to pick him up after football practice on her scooter. Lily and Jessie have bonded over reminiscing over Blair High School Pom/Cheer team stories and poking fun at Tim when they are all together. Now, Jessie enjoys trying new restaurants, doing nails, and spending time with her boyfriend, Ti.  

Jessie

Ben and Tim first met in 2005 after a summer football practice. From riding around in Ben's first car, Lumina, on the way to high school parties, to Ben traversing through the snow in 2010 to play a five hours game of monopoly, Ben has always shown up for Tim. Ben is also responsible for introducing Tim to his younger brother, Claude, who is ultimately responsible for introducing the couple. Ben and his girlfriend, Tiara, recently moved back to the East Coast from California and have been busy settling into their home in Baltimore.


Darcy and Lily's friendship started during 7th grade lunch period. Despite going to different high schools and colleges, the two have always stayed close. They even somehow ended up at the same prom. In their early twenties, the two could be found somewhere new in DC doing tequila shots on any given Friday night. Now, you can find Darcy playing tennis and soaking up the sun in Florida.

You really thought we weren't going to include our first born child? But no, we are not actually trusting him with our rings - don't worry.
