We met in philosophy class and were struck by one another right away, though neither of us was thinking romance. Catherine appreciated Paul's quiet, earnest nature towards the other students and the material, whereas Paul noticed Catherine's luminous joy. However, Paul was discerning the Catholic priesthood and was not thinking about marriage. Throughout college, we continued to see each other in classes and developed a genuine friendship. A few years later, Paul finished out college with a degree in data analytics, while Catherine pursued a higher degree in theology just down the street. Running in the same circles, we bonded over our love for music, our hobby of running, and our Catholic faith. Eventually it dawned on us that we were falling in love. Our years of friendship built on shared dreams, interests, goals, and values provided a sturdy base for our relationship and allowed us to realize that God was bringing us together. Cheers to many more years!
