We met through the written word. A mutual acquaintance of ours, who knew Colleen through art school and Mike through the Boston Speculative Fiction writing club, addressed an email to Mike with the simple subject of "So there's this friend of mine..." Curious, Mike answered the email. After a few e-mails and a phone call, we decided to meet each other at Jamaica Pond in Jamaica Plain, MA. We spent a summer evening walking around the pond with Colleen's basset hound, Beau, getting to know each other. At the end of the evening, Mike presented Colleen with a single, small rose--a token of affection and appreciation. He also offered a biscuit to Beau who, up until this point, had completely ignored him.

Since then we have spent many weekends on Cape Cod, our love and relationship growing with each visit to the house in Old Mill Point, with each stroll along the beach, with each swim in the ocean. And on the morning of September 28, 2013, while out walking Beau on the beach, Mike knelt down in the sand and proposed to Colleen.

We want to share this special space with you, our loved ones, on our wedding day. In that spirit, we have centered the day around the elements of water, air, earth and fire.

love for art, writing, the Cape, friends and family, and of course, each other.

wedding themes feature  casual, yet elegant, themes and colors centered around our love for art, writing, the Cape, and, of course, each other.  Again, we welcome you, family and friends, in celebrating this special day.
