How They Met
Meghan and Peter met in DC while working for a non-profit that helps indigenous peoples and environmental organizations. They dated for three years before getting engaged. As Meghan recalls, "Pete and I were both in Peru for work (we scheduled it to work out that way) and we took a quick vacation to Cusco and Machu Picchu.
