Our Story

2019 · Boston College

Will and Erin first met in a student government club during their freshman year at Boston College. They didn't talk much that first semester, and did not realize they were both Computer Science majors until the spring, when they began working on projects and homework together. Summer came and went and soon they were back on campus for their sophomore year. Their coding partnership continued, and before long it grew into a real friendship. The friendship blossomed into something more somewhere between Logic & Computation and the themed pregames Erin's roommates would host. By the time they came back to campus in January, they were inseparable.

2020 · Abroad in Prague

From there it was off to the races, meeting each other's families and visiting one during respective times abroad. Will visited Erin in Prague in February 2020, and soon they were both back at home in Nashville and Rhode Island. After a few months at home, Will moved to Boston for the summer. Erin bought a road bike, Will helped her figure out drop handle bars, and they spent that summer in parks and on trails in New England.

2021 · Senior Year & The Road West

Their senior year at BC was punctuated by weekends in Rhode Island, bike rides through the towns outside BC, and cooking more root vegetables than they thought possible thanks to the CSA subscription they shared — COVID made for a much more wholesome lifestyle than that of your traditional college senior. Will accepted a job in Denver, and Erin took one in Boston. After graduation, they took a road trip out west, visiting national parks in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah and camping along the way.

The end of that road trip marked the beginning of their year doing long distance, flying across the country to see each other as much as possible. In 2022, Erin made the move out to Denver. They navigated adult life in Denver together, far from family and friends. Together, they built a new life; weekends were spent camping and skiing and going to concerts, and they made lifelong friends over plenty of beers and board games. They moved into their first apartment together in 2023. In 2024, they adopted Nellie — the small, fluffy cat at the center of 75% of their conversations.

2026+ · Brooklyn

In April 2025, Will's new job and a desire to be closer to family brought them to New York. Nellie traded a big Denver apartment for pigeon watching in Brooklyn. Will and Erin settled into a faster pace of life, and reconnected with best friends from BC. When they were back in Boston in October, Will proposed to Erin in the Boston Common, the same place they walked around after their first date nearly seven years prior. That night, they celebrated with friends and family, some of whom had flown across the country to be with them. Erin's best friends and bridesmaids even made custom hats for the occasion.

Erin and Will could not be more excited to celebrate their marriage with you, their favorite people, this March in Brooklyn!
