The long way here

How we began

2014

Where it began

A summer afternoon in Prospect Park, a borrowed frisbee, and a friend-of-a-friend introduction. Neither of us was supposed to be there that day.

Long distance, longer letters

Two cities, one shared playlist, and a stack of handwritten cards that still lives in a shoebox under the bed.

The first glance

A rainy afternoon in a little bookshop on the Upper West Side. A shared smile over a well-worn copy of Rilke.

Our first home

A tiny apartment with a tinier kitchen and a window box of basil. It was perfect, because it was ours.

A year on the road

Twelve months, eleven cities, one shared notebook of every meal worth remembering. We came home knowing exactly where home was.

The question

Sunset on the cliffs of Ravello. One knee, one ring, one unforgettable yes.

And here we are

Save-the-dates sent, seating charts drawn, and a countdown that finally feels close enough to touch. We can't wait to share the day with you.

If you insist

A short list

Your presence at our wedding is the only gift we truly need — the flights, the hours, the small yeses that got you here. It is more than enough.

If you’d still like to mark the day, we’ve kept a short list.
