In July 2021, I (MK) was at a comedy show with some friends from B/SPOKE and was planning to go home after. I got a text from my former student teacher (shoutout to Kyle!) saying that he was at Publico in Southie. He knew that this was "my bar" and because he was never in Southie, so I decided to go say hi. Later on, another friend met up with me and we ran into a group of guys that she knew. AJ introduced himself and we bonded over having initials as our first names. We realized that we had an age difference, but flirtation doesn't care about age! We exchanged numbers and later that week, our first date was pizza on the beach at M street. Little did we know, that area would be the setting for our engagement followed by a surprise engagement party at Publico thanks to AJ's secretive planning skills. We love our love and the life we've created together. We laugh so much together. We choose each other every day. We are grateful to have wonderful friends and family who support us and we can't wait for you all to witness our special day!
