Story

Our love story began during our high school junior year, where fate united us in the same AP Chemistry class. It was at a Sweet 16 event when Hayley generously came to my aid, helping me prepare for a daunting AP Chemistry quiz. To my delight, I triumphed over the challenge the following day, marking a significant turning point after a series of unsuccessful attempts. Inspired by this victory, we decided to become study buddies, forging a deeper connection as the school year progressed.

On December 12th, 2014, our friendship blossomed into something more profound as we officially embarked on a romantic journey. Our path led us through the vibrant streets of Troy, NY, as we conquered college life together at RPI. We also ventured into uncharted territories during our study abroad experience in Australia, where we discovered new horizons and made cherished memories.

Upon entering the professional realm, we were blessed with the opportunity to begin our engineering careers side by side at the same company, further strengthening the bond we shared. Now, as we stand at the threshold of a new chapter in our lives, we are filled with immeasurable gratitude for our treasured guests, who have witnessed and played a part in our extraordinary love story. Together, with excitement and anticipation, we embrace the future and all the thrilling adventures it has in store for us.

Registry

Dear friends and family,

Thank you for being a part of our special day. Your presence means the world to us.

Hayley and I are avid travelers and skiiers. As such, we have added a honeymoon fund and ski equipment fund to our registry. These funds will allow us to make special memories as we begin our married life together.

While we don't have a lot of space for physical items, we have added a few to our registry.

We kindly ask that you do not bring any physical gifts to Mexico. We will not have space in our luggage to take them home.

With heartfelt thanks,
John and Hayley
