Our journey began all the way back in September, 2011. We met in the most fitting way for two music lovers: at an all-day hardcore fest at the Nile Theater. What started as a day full of loud music and even louder energy turned into something a lot more lasting.

(It was this fest to be exact!)

Fast forward 13 years, two apartments, and countless shows later, and we found ourselves in Japan for the trip of a lifetime. Somewhere between exploring new cities and trying every street food possible, a proposal happened… and we said yes to forever.

(Earl popped the question 30 mins after this photo was taken!)

In between, we’ve built a life we love—complete with two corgis (Bennie *RIP* and Ba$il), our first home, and a whole lot of shared playlists. We’ve traveled together, eaten our way through new restaurants, and never missed a chance to spend time with our favorite people. Somewhere along the way, he taught me how to drive, and I taught him how to do taxes (talk about teamwork).

We’ve grown so much together, and now—we’re getting married! We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
