We've been together for a long time—almost seven years by our count—and we've known each other even longer than that.
We met about 12 years ago when a mutual friend introduced us at one of Dave's shows, and then we saw each other on the rare occasion that we would attend the same event—mostly music-related. Fast forward several years and Jen again attends one of Dave's shows, but something was different this time. Maybe it was Dave's unforgettable performance as the lead singer of a band that has been hailed by some as, "definitely a band that plays music." Maybe it was the gentle aroma of stale beer and cigarette smoke in the air. Whatever it was, it was magic. Dave saw Jen from across the room while he was standing behind the merch booth, and thought, "Well heck, Jen's here! I'll go say hi." And after that, we got to talking, and then laughing, and then it didn't seem too much of a leap to start seeing each other outside of those music venues we used to frequent so often.
We've been through a lot over the last seven years. We've changed addresses three times. We've learned how to work around strange sleep patterns. We've dealt with roommates, renters, noisy neighbors, noisy bandmates, living inside a music studio, living without a music studio, career changes, funerals, weddings, chocolate molds stacked to the ceiling and modifying our lives to make sure we have the time to support and encourage each other in all that we do. Whether we would get married was never a question, it was just a matter of making it happen.
We're excited to share the culmination of the last seven years with you, and we can't wait to see you there!
