Casey and Cessie met in the summer of 2017 through their mutual friend Harry at a backyard barbecue in Washington, D.C. Once they realized they had southern roots, a love for the outdoors, taste in music, and a penchant for traveling in common, their friendship solidified quickly. The more time they spent together, the closer they became, until eventually their friendship evolved into a relationship. 

Since that fateful barbecue, Casey and Cessie have built a life together in the nation’s capital, grateful for fulfilling careers and a world-class group of friends.
