So many stars aligned for the two of us to meet. If Blaise hadn't decided to transfer schools twice before landing at UMD, he would have graduated without ever meeting Maggie. If Maggie hadn't decided to take an upper level history class, despite being an English major, she would never have met Blaise. Fortunately, fate intervened and brought both of us together in Dr. Robyn Muncy's "American Women and the Great Society" course. Maggie couldn't help but notice the best looking guy in class, and Blaise couldn't help but notice the loudest girl. Eventually, Blaise worked up the courage to ask Maggie out for coffee, Maggie literally screamed with happiness, and the rest is history.
