We met in the summer of 2007, when Hollister sweatshirts were still in style and Sean never took off his Yankee's hat (see that fantastic throwback photo up there? Gotta love it!)

We fell madly in love rather quickly, one bonfire to another. There were long walks on the beach (of course), conversations that lasted forever (naturally), and constant texting. We could not get enough of each other. And isn't that how it should be?

Anyway, after lots of driving around together, one epic first date that involved the best local pizza, some wine (because really don't all relationships that start with pizza & wine end well?!) and a gorgeous night on the beach, we knew, we were it for each other. 

The summer wound down, with the endless chasing of sunsets and the excitement of the coming fall, there was no way we were going back to "real life" without one another. 

It's been a long road of ups and downs for the two of us, through career changes, several moves, the acquiring of some adorable doggies, and one AMAZING proposal on that same beach where we had our first date, and here we are, engaged, and headed to Mexico to see the most fantastic sunset of all...the one that sets on our wedding!

All of you are so important to our story, and I am sure you all have different versions and memories to share from the beginning all the way through now - which is why we so very much want your presence on our BIG DAY!
