Overall love story: We met in October of 2018 as we were both training to become yoga instructors at CorePower Yoga in Boston, MA. On day one, we were given instructions to find our “omie” for the 12 week yoga intensive through a matching game - whoever had the same yoga pose on their card would be your partner. Your Omie would be your support throughout the journey - your “go to” person for everything. We became “omies” that day not knowing that we definitely would not just be each others support people for 12 weeks but rather for life. We were just friends for about two years before our relationship turned from friendship to romance-- funny enough, this shift happened when we were 3,000 miles apart during the pandemic with Jesse living in LA and Maddy still in Boston. We started dating before we had even shared a kiss. We just knew the moment that we decided to date that this was it- we would be together forever. Over the next several months Maddy split her time between Boston and LA, luckily able to work remote due to the pandemic. We soon decided Maddy would move out to LA permanently and the rest is history. Our love story grew even more when we expanded our family with our puppy, Winnie Carmen-Hay, and we are so excited to finally all share a last name.

POV wedding weekend: A word we coined at the start of our relationship to describe our love is Soulie Love- like soulmates, but cozier. Soulie Love was woven throughout wedding details from the invites to a larger than life neon sign and floral wall at the wedding. The most resounding comment we got at the wedding was- "the wedding feels exactly like your relationship". When we reflect on the wedding and the inexplicable joy that radiated all day long, we realize what magic happened- we brought soulie love to life and every single person got to experience it. Our wedding felt how soulie love feels to us.
