Their's is a grilled cheese and tomato soup kind of love. In this episode of The Love Department, host Nik Lockhart sits down with Abby & Jay. They're the owners of Maple Shade Farm, a wedding venue in upstate New York--in the area they grew up in. What makes this couple unique is that they met in kindergarten (and stood next to each other in the class photo!) These hometown heroes have built a marriage that has lasted 25 years, had 3 kids, and lots of fun.

In this episode we talk about keeping your proposal casual, working with your spouse, finding vendors and planning a wedding that feels authentic, and letting love come back around when it's right.
