Optional Activities
If you’d like to arrive a few days early and explore the city, we’ll have some optional activities planned. More to come.
Chapter one
Our Story
We met in April 2021, just as the world was opening back up, for our first date at Bar Charlie in Washington, D.C. What began online quickly became something more. We spent those early months dating our way up and down 14th Street and dancing the nights away at the 9:30 Club and The Anthem. Somewhere between the late-night concerts and slow Sunday mornings, we fell in love. Before long, we were planning our first big adventure together.
Chapter two
Why Lisbon
Just four months after we started dating, we took our first international trip together to Lisbon, Portugal, where Taylor’s best friend Becca was living at the time. One glass of port and we were hooked.
Since then we’ve explored Iceland, London, Thailand, Japan, Colombia, Mexico, and more, but Lisbon always pulls us back.
Its winding tree-lined streets are lined with shimmering tile, sidewalk cafés, and great restaurants. Fado music drifts out of doorways and the people are some of the warmest we’ve met. There’s truly something for everyone. Or at least, plenty of ceramics for Taylor and stinky tinned fish for Carter.
Lisbon is an easy direct flight from D.C., and it has always been our favorite place to slow down and unwind. We couldn’t think of a better place to celebrate with the people we love most.
