Wedding Date on May 11, 2019

Liz and Doug met the old fashioned way... actually. It was December and they were both indoor rock climbing at Brooklyn Boulders in Somerville, Massachusetts, each with a group of friends. Liz had chosen a climb more difficult then she realized, and fell off the wall multiple times, when she heard a guy say, "You may want to try putting your hand here and your foot there". Much to Liz's chagrin, people were noticing her failing at her climb! Slightly embarrassed, Liz got off that wall and went off climbing with her girlfriends. Long story short, the guy with the climbing tips (Doug), just *happened* to keep climbing with his friends near Liz's. By the end of the night Doug and Liz realized they both grew up going to and working at summer camps near or on Lake George, and that perhaps it was worth going climbing again, just the two of them. The next week, our first date was climbing at Brooklyn Boulders and having a beer and playing Nintendo at the brewery next door, where we learned our interests went beyond climbing and summer camp (though Doug wasn't *yet* a Taylor Swift fan). This past April, Doug suggested that just the two of them should go climbing and then to the brewery, just like their first date; Liz was optimistically suspicious. After a very nice date night, Liz came to the conclusion that she was reading too far into Doug's date night plans. That was, until they walked to her car, Doug leaned over to give Liz a kiss and kneeled down on one knee. EEK! Liz Was Surprised!! After a surprise yell she happily said YES.
