First meeting
Rain, coffee, and the kind of conversation that makes you lose track of time.
How it all began
Our Story
A few of the moments that brought us here.
Chapter one
A rainy coffee shop
We met on a Tuesday that refused to stop raining. Jack was working on a laptop by the window; Julie's umbrella failed spectacularly on the sidewalk outside. A shared table, two cappuccinos, and an hour that somehow became three — that was the start.
Neither of us planned on staying. Neither of us wanted to leave.

Officially us
After months of “just friends,” a rooftop sunset sealed the deal. We still argue about who said “I like you” first.

Home base
We moved in together — plants, mismatched mugs, and a kitchen that always smells like something baking.

The proposal
On a quiet trail in the Hudson Valley, Jack got down on one knee under a canopy of autumn leaves. Julie said yes before he finished the question.
