Over seven years ago, we were just two college kids, barely 19, navigating a mundane political science class our sophomore year. Tim trying to blend in chose a seat in the middle, while Lily, a bit more reserved-or maybe just too cool took a spot in the back closest to the door. It wasn’t love at first sight, a spark of curiosity grew through shared interests, late night talks, and plenty of persistence on Tims part. What started as casual encounters and nights out with mutual friends quickly grew into something deeper, bringing them closer even during the quiet, lonely days of the pandemic. In 2021, life brought us to Connecticut. Lily began law school, and Tim wasn’t about to let distance get in the way. He packed up his life in Delaware, found a job, and became Lily’s rock through three long grueling years of law school. Today, almost seven years later from first meeting, we’ve built a cozy life filled with laughter, love, and every two spoiled cats. We’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter with the people who’ve supported us as we officially begin our forever together.
