Our story began the old fashioned way- at an open bar. If you know anything about either of us- you know that's right on brand. Flashback to December 2017 the night of Mother's Christmas Customer Appreciation Party. We each showed up with a few friends who happened to know each other (a true Smaltimore moment). We merged groups and ended up sharing a table which later led to sharing McFly bombs (don't ask). Marty walked me home in the snow as the night came to an end just to FORGOT TO ASK FOR MY NUMBER. He quickly found me on Instagram the next day-also very on brand. Months and months later, we finallllllly made it official (again, don't ask ;). Over the years, our love has grown through countless Purple Patios, Saturday trips to Old Westminster Winery, a pandemic, our favorite lattes at Charmed Kitchen and Barfly's pizza. Flash forward to September 2020 where we moved in to our first row home together in Baltimore, Marty turned 30 and we brought home our puppy Olive all in the same month! Keeping on brand- to my complete shock and surprise, we couldn't let 2021 go by without a bang. A last minute trip to Italy was planned for June 2021 where Marty proposed on the Amalfi Coast. The control freak in me was shocked I hadn't even the slightest clue but it was a complete DREAM. And when they claim you kind of black out during a proposal- they weren't kidding. Cue life event 2022- we packed up our life in Baltimore and headed for the big city- NYC! For a couple constantly chasing their next adventure, it feels like the perfect fit. We're still finding our new favorite spots but the transition has been rather seamless. We've hit some pretty huge milestones together thus far but something tells me 2023 will be the best yet.
