Mary & William

Mary & William's love story has stretched over a decade, from their first meeting at the age of 14 and 16 while at boarding school outside of Boston, to a deep friendship that developed in Los Angeles in their early twenties, to the commencement of their relationship on the 21st of August 2009 (Mary's first day living in London), and finally to the beautiful morning of 11 November 2012, when William requested Mary's hand in marriage forever.

William & Mary first "officially" met at the Rylie Room at Phillips Academy Andover, situated in a dark basement below the food halls .  This was far from love at first sight, although William harbored a small but sadly unreciprocated crush on Mary throughout their years at Andover.

In 2005, both met again coincidentally while studying in Los Angeles, and very rapidly became close friends, reminiscing about their days at Andover and exploring Los Angeles.

In 2007, the two were separated again when William left Los Angeles to study at the London School of Economics. They kept in touch, and in 2008, Mary, feeling bereft without her other half, made the 6,000 mile move to London.  The two have since then spent over four happy years together exploring Europe on weekends and London on the weekdays, until a morning in November when William knew so absolutely that he could not live without Mary that he spontaneously dropped to his knees and asked her to be his wife forever.

William & Mary will now be married on the 5th of October in 2013.  Despite the distance between them at times during their relationship, it seems that they were always destined to end up together.
