A card from Annie to Pete across the pond

Let’s go way, way, way back to November of 2007…their “first date”. Pete says he remembers it was in November because his birthday is in November. They went to the local Cheesecake Factory and Annie ordered him strawberries and cool whip, because he is lactose intolerant. He says she is the most thoughtful person he knows.

Going back even before their first date Annie and Pete attended Babson College together, Pete says, “Oddly enough we had been at Babson together for two years before we ever knowingly crossed path, which was surprising given the relatively small size of the campus and student body”. They were first introduced to each other when they were put in the same group for a project in their first semester of their senior year. It was in Professor Len Green’s entrepreneurship class, and as Pete puts it he did learn in the class but meeting Annie was “clearly the pinnacle” and he will forever be grateful to Professor Green.

Annie and Pete first met in the library for a group project meeting, Annie had field hockey on the brain and Pete had just arrived home from London. Pete says that they both wanted to spend as little time as possible together at the first meeting, BUT…after a few group meetings and field hockey games they were finally ready to date. Pete says, “guys don’t go to field hockey games without a reason”.

They dated…they graduated…Pete moved to London…they continued to date long distance…Pete came home and proposed…they began an adventure to the altar! Stay tuned for more details about all of these events, we will definitely fill you in. We just thought you might want to know how they met. As Pete said, Annie is very thoughtful and as one could imagine as Pete has been in London Annie has thought A LOT about him. Here is a glimpse into their personal fairytale, here (and above) are some cards that Annie sent Pete all the way across the pond to his little flat in London…
