ROCKPORT, MAINEAUTUMN COASTAL ROMANCE
OCTOBER 2024THE STORYSydney and Drew first met at their shared college alma mater, Bowdoin, where their paths crossed through mutual friends during their freshman year. Although they quickly became part of the same circle, their relationship grew slowly over time, rooted in a decade-long friendship filled with shared adventures, conversations, and moments that hinted at something more. After years of crossing paths while living in different cities, the timing finally aligned during a reunion trip to Maine, where their connection deepened and friendship turned into love, leading to a proposal nearly ten years after they first met.
