Every love story starts somewhere — ours began with a first date neither of us wanted to end. What started as one evening turned into every evening, and somewhere along the way, two lives quietly became one.

A 1924 house with a century of stories, two cats with opinions about everything, a garden that keeps us humble, and a shared belief that home is wherever we're together. We've filled the years with dinners out, trips near and far, and the kind of everyday moments that turn out to be the big ones.

Beneath draped fabric and twinkling lights, one of us asked and the other said yes — and now here we are, asking the people we love most to stand with us as we make it official.
