Grace and Isaac are together for two reasons: (1) Isaac is 6'2 and (2) Isaac, a Pennsylvania boy, happened to have recently listened to a song on Spotify by the same obscure NJ-based band Grace used to go to garage shows for in her youth, The Front Bottoms.

After three Front Bottoms shows, two states, and almost five years together, that right swipe was the best decision either of them have ever made. Beyond Tony (6’1) and Lynne (5’0) blessing Isaac with good height genes, a few other stars had to align. Isaac decided to prolong his stay in the south a little longer by taking an environmental consulting job in Richmond, Virginia. Grace, having grown tired of another summer of constant rain in Boston, decided on a whim to attend law school outside of Boston and head down to William & Mary Law School, the nation’s oldest law school, in Williamsburg, Virginia. Neither knew anyone in their new cities but both took a leap of faith that it would work out.

One global pandemic later, Grace was in her second year of law school and Isaac was tired of his windowless apartment. They found themselves on Bumble. Luck would have it that one of Isaac’s job sites brought him to Williamsburg weekly, and so not only did the stars align, but also the radiuses - Grace and Isaac matched on September 2, 2020, had their first date at Precarious Beer Project in Williamsburg in October 2020. Eight hours later, Grace walked away from their first date knowing she had met her husband and Isaac walked away knowing he no longer wanted to get into environmental law. 

Fast-forwarding to 2022, Grace graduated law school and had a job lined up in Boston, and Isaac decided he had supported his wife through law school and the bar, so a cross-country move to a city he had never been to couldn’t be that bad (and as per usual, Grace would be right about him loving Boston). On October 28, 2023, Isaac proposed on Comm Ave outside the famed Boston Common with his parents and the Fucci family in tow, and their friends awaiting their return for a surprise party on Grace and Isaac’s apartment rooftop in the North End. 

Since then the party has only continued. Thank you for joining us to celebrate here at one of our favorite places, the Cape! We are so excited to spend the long weekend with all of our favorite people.
