Our story begins in 2007 when we both moved to New York City for Graduate School. We met at international orientation at Columbia University. Jess happened to be sitting next to one of the guys from Adam’s program – Adam arrived and sat next to them. We quickly realized that the orientation wasn’t for us – after grabbing lunch we skipped out and grabbed beers. Eight years later and we’re getting married!

In between then and now we’ve lived in three New York City apartments and built a home in Brooklyn. Jess has introduced Adam to many movies. We've watched Across the Universe far too many times and V for Vendetta is our Guy Fawkes tradition. Adam has introduced Jess to new music. We rocked to Mumford when we worked together at the Edlab and had the time of our lives dancing to Vampire Weekend in the Central Park rain. 

We’ve travelled to Canada, Scotland, England, Italy, Germany, India, Croatia, Greece, Turkey, & many US States together. We love our camping trips on the Canadian Great Lakes and our annual pilgrimage up Arthur's Seat. The logos on our site are a hat-tip to Scotland (thistle), to sunsets on Lake Huron and to Brooklyn (bridge), the place we now live. Thanks to Jimmy Mezei for these and the other designs you see on this site.

We're lucky to have friends & family dotted around the world and love nothing more than spending time in Toronto, Stratford, Edinburgh & London. But when choosing a venue for our wedding we opted for Brooklyn- it’s where we’ve built our lives together and something we want to share with you all. We’re excited to celebrate with you!
