Marisa and Will both grew up in Ashland, Massachusetts but did not acknowledge each others existence until they were 16 years old. In June 2013, Marisa and her best friend Sophia wanted to live out their Pinterest dreams and put glowsticks in her pool and hang out with our friends. The night was pretty normal. Then Sophia's brother, Zack and his best friend Will came home and wanted to join. Marisa had gotten herself a glowstick wand and was essentially playing fetch with herself when someone stole her glowstick. It was Will. He had swam along the bottom of the pool, scratching his chin, and came up to show Marisa the glowstick. When she saw he had it, all she said to him was "You have blood on your chin" and then swam away to continue the night with her friends. Getting out of the pool, Marisa screeched about how cold it was and Will being a gentleman offered his sweatshirt. Marisa replied "No? My clothes are right here" and once again scurried away to sit by the fire. Will stood there shocked at these interactions but remained persistent. The rest of the summer was met with more frequent chance meetings. Marisa going on Poirier family beach trip to Hampton beach and coincidentally running into the Moriarty's. A couple weeks later, both Marisa and Will joined the Poirier's on a camping trip down the Cape. These chance meetings resulted in Marisa and Will becoming friends and talking/texting every day. There has not been a day over the last 10 years that they have not communicated. It wasn't until several months later that they both realized their friendship was different and haven't looked back since. And that is how we all ended up where we are today. We are so excited to celebrate taking this next step!
