Amy &amp; Harrison's story began on December 31, 2012 just ten days after Amy, a native New Yorker moved to Maine after 40 years. They met on Match.com and first laid eyes on each other standing in front of Fore Street Restaurant in Portland Maine. Their first date on New Year's Eve lasted for 6 hours and they ushered in a new new year and a new chapter together, and as they say, the rest is history. A city girl to the core; foodie, art enthusiast, lover of travel- and a rustic man, skier, minimalist, hunter were destined for a lifetime of love and companionship.

How it all started...
