We're Married!

On May 17, at about 4:30 in the afternoon, we exchanged vows and rings at Union Station Banquets in Northampton, Massachusetts, and now we're married!
How We Met…
Adriel and Mary’s paths crossed briefly in 2014 when Mary visited Goose Island Brewery in Chicago, where Adriel was working at the time. They didn’t realize it until several dates in, when Adriel recognized the exclusive glass you could get on the brewery tour in Mary’s cabinet. They connected in CT in 2021 on a dating app. Their first date was on May 25th in Old Wethersfield, where they got coffee and talked for hours. The rest is history!
