How it all began

It’s a classic tale with a modern twist.

Dory noticed Nate in a picture with her friend that he had posted online. For anonymity purposes, we’ll call this friend Shleremy.

“Who’s your cute friend?” Dory asked.

“Oh, that’s Nate,” said Shleremy.

…And that was that. For about 2 years.

Unbeknownst to Dory, however, Nate was asking Shleremy about her as well during that time. We love Shleremy, but a matchmaker he is not.

Finally, after fleeting online interactions and minutes-long, in-person drive-bys, fate intervened. Dory was going to Boston to a concert that Shleremy was producing, with none other than Nate. At last, they would have more than 5 minutes to talk!

Dory and Nate spent all night drinking, telling dumb jokes, and awkwardly flirting. Eventually, they shared their first kiss backstage at the show.

Since that moment, Dory and Nate have spent every single day together. Well, at least metaphorically. Physically, for their first year as a couple, Nate was in Newburyport while Dory was in Brooklyn.

Once Nate moved to NYC, however, it was a done deal! Wellllll, maybe kind of sort of. Dory wanted to put in at least 7 years together to make sure they went through enough “real life sh*t” to test their relationship’s strength. Luckily, after all of these tests, they always came out the other side intact.

Now, after 9 years of commitment to each other (and 8 years of living in sin), they’re going to make it official. They’re excited to have you be a part of their next chapter by coming to their wedding.
