When Angela and Harry Mains first met, they were both “miserable.” 

The two had both been in previous relationships, but Harry said it took just one conversation with Angela to change his outlook on life.

“I was actually talking to somebody instead of just listening,” Harry said. “She heard me, and I heard her.” 

The two felt that they could be authentic when they were together. 

“I didn’t have to change who I was to be around her, I could just be me,” Harry said. “I could be the big kid that I was meant to be.”

On the couple’s first date, they hiked the Skyline Trail at Blue Hills Reservation, just outside of Boston. As the sun was setting and snow fell around them, they shared their first official kiss.

Harry later brought Angela’s two children, his daughter and his mother up the mountain to propose in the same spot they had their first date.

The pair have been married since August 2023. They explained that the key to a healthy relationship is good communication. 

“You shouldn’t have to fight and chase somebody; it should be mutual,” Angela said.

Together, the couple prioritizes honesty and easy laughter.

“Everything else falls in line if you have strong communication, if you aren’t afraid to tell someone how you feel,” Harry said.
