Our Story

Our story was born out of the confusion and chaos of New York City in 2020. The stillness of March thawed in the heat of the Summer, our world erupted. We were both called to the streets to share our support for the world we’d loved and lost. A symphony of fine tuned instruments, our song began. We swayed to the rhythm before either of us understood this dance would last a lifetime. Joseph claims to have had the first glance, outside of Radio City Music Hall. Megan *Gem* had considered skipping the gathering and by the time she arrived the group was ready to move on to Times Square. It was at the crossroads of the world our paths met. There was time after the gathering to chat with others at the event. We struck up a conversation and snapped a photo of our first meeting, memorialized forever. As the months went by we continued to attend gatherings to share in solidarity with the community, Gem on the maracas and Joey on the drum. Perhaps it was the musicianship, but as with most magical meetings, we seemed to find each other without effort or planning, in crowds totaling thousands. As the next year went by, conversation became comfortable and we were soon familiar friends. In January of 2022 we began the year with an early morning bus down to the Capital, an ode to the middle school trips. On the ride back up north they rested heads and heart together. Winter melted to Spring then seeped into Summer. Joseph reached out with an invite to a concert, making clear the intention of friendship. The night commenced seamlessly, each delay or side quest in sync, walking in to applause and the first note of the show.
 The subway ride back ended with a squeeze of the hand and we departed without words.
 After a series of meetups in the park, relaxing in the hammock and sharing laughs, Joey decided to send a written text that led to a meeting where he inquired, would you be mine? “I thought I already was” Gem responded and just like that our relationship began.
 Each possible day since has been spent together.
