Number of Attendants Two (one best man, one best woman—our siblings)
How You Met We met at Ben’s fire station after I dropped off bagels and cookies after crossing paths on social media for a year or so. Seeing as my office was across the street from the fire station, it made sense to try meeting in person, where we instantly hit it off.
The Engagement Ben proposed, executing a three-day scavenger hunt of letters that lead me from Arlington, VA, through D.C., up to NYC, then to Boston, and finally down to Cape Cod. With each stop having people from my life (high school friends, college roommates, work colleagues, my favorite teacher growing up, family, etc.). It even included a flashmob in Central Park. Handwritten letters (“clues”) led me to the beach I grew up on where Ben was waiting for me to pop the question.

What Was Unique and Special About Your Wedding Day We chose to do private vows, just the two of us. And wrote every single guest a handwritten note telling them what they meant to us.
Favorite Details Dinner amongst fireplaces and candlelight with simple florals. Extremely intimate with just our most important people.
Most Unexpected Event On Your Wedding Day A wedding morning pickleball tournament, led by Michael’s grandmother.
