Our story

How it started

How we met

We met on a Tuesday in the rain, both reaching for the last umbrella at a bookshop on Lexington Avenue. Theo let Ava have it, then walked her home under his coat anyway.

Three years, two cities and one very patient dog later, we are getting married in the mountains where we spent our first weekend away.

About us

Ava teaches piano and grows more tomatoes than anyone needs. Theo builds furniture and makes the coffee. We both still argue about who saw the umbrella first.
