Being two people born and raised in Wisconsin, it may not come as a surprise that we met at a bar. On a hot August night, surrounded by friends that will stand up in our wedding, we first met downtown Milwaukee at a bar neither of us frequented. Marcus remembers the outfit I wore, and I remember getting late-night Greek food together - bonding over effortless conversation and food out of styrofoam containers. I didn't want the night to end. We went out on our first official date the following Tuesday at an Italian restaurant on Brady Street and have been best friends ever since - sharing many more Italian meals (some even it Italy!), going to $5 movie Tuesdays, taking weekend trips, playing board games, challenging each other in competitive tennis matches, and most recently taking long walks by Lake Michigan with our Sheepadoodle pup, Enzo. Marcus and I cannot wait to get married and if you're reading this - please know that we can't wait to be celebrating our special day with YOU!
