We’re getting married!

Once upon a time, in Poughkeepsie NY, there were two wonderful people named Meaghan and Corey, each leading separate lives, unaware that their destinies were about to intertwine in the most unexpected way. It was December 2019 and Meaghan had just received her undergrad and got a job as a receptionist. Corey, a maintenance worker at the same company, met Meaghan on her very first day. They became fast friends and enjoyed seeing each other throughout their days. As time went on they realized they had a lot in common. They were both single parents and even had a son with the same name! They enjoyed each others jokes and parenting stories. Fast forward to February 4th, 2021 Corey secretly placed a sleeve of Thin Mints Girl Scout cookies on Meaghan’s desk after learning they were her favorite…and everything was history after that. They started having lunch together everyday and about a week and a half later on February 13th, Corey took Meaghan to one of her favorite restaurants; La Puerta Azul in Pleasant Valley, NY. After dinner, Corey gave Meaghan 13 pink roses and asked her to be his girlfriend (she said yes). Meaghan and Corey quickly realized how well they complemented each other's strengths, and their connection grew stronger with every passing moment. They found themselves captivated by one another's personalities and passions. Corey was amazed by Meaghan's determination and creative flair, while Meaghan was enamored by Corey's ability to effortlessly fix anything that broke, and his ability to make every situation fun with his witty sense of humor. As days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, their bond deepened, and they fell head over heels in love. From that moment on, their love flourished, and they became inseparable. Together, they embarked on adventures, supported each other's dreams, and faced life's challenges as a united force. Eventually, both Meaghan and Corey found themselves taking new jobs where they would eventually end up working for the same company once again. After asking Meaghan’s parents for their blessing: on December 24th, 2022, while Meaghan prepped the Christmas tree for their four children…Corey mentioned he’d like Meaghan to open an early Christmas present. He gave her a rectangle box which she quickly unwrapped. Inside was a beautifully decorated wedding cake ornament. Confused Meaghan said, “I love it! It’s a wedding cake ornament…did you know that this ornament is a wedding cake?” Instead of answering her question, Corey pulled out a pink suede ring box and asked Meaghan if she would be his forever. It took Meaghan a few moments to realize what was happening until Corey opened the ring box to show her the most beautiful ring she had ever seen and asked her to marry him. A couple of squeals later, Meaghan said YES! After overcoming obstacles, sharing joys, and supporting one another, Meaghan and Corey are about to embark on a new chapter in their journey together. They are ready to exchange vows, promising to love, cherish, and support each other through all the days of their lives. Their love story serves as a testament to the magic that can unfold when two souls find each other in unexpected places, proving that sometimes, the most extraordinary love stories begin with ordinary moments in the most ordinary of circumstances. A winter wonderland wedding is set for January 25, 2025. Meaghan and Corey can’t wait for their friends and family to witness their happily ever after.
