We met during a lip-sync battle, sophomore year of college in Reno, Nevada. Haley's sorority and Connor's fraternity were paired up, and they met during a rehearsal for the show. Being 6'5'' and 5'9'', Connor and Haley spent a lot of time together in the back row. After that, Connor weaseled his way into a job as a dish-boy at Haley's sorority house, just so he could serve her bacon on Saturday mornings. After many weeks at the breakfast table, and running into each other on campus, Connor was finally able to convince Haley to meet him for coffee.
Connor planned to propose in Cinque Terre, Italy on the fifth day of a five-week Europe trip. Connor tried his hardest to be very sly, but he had one slip-up. He had put a note on the ring box that read, “Dear TSA: this is an engagement ring! If you have to inspect my bag, please be discreet!” After a night of unpacking, Haley accidentally opened that crumpled up note that didn’t make it all the way to the trash can. Connor snagged it out of her hand, saying “You saw nothing.” 5 days later, Connor finally found himself down on one knee at a lookout on the coast of Cinque Terre, and proposed!
