Adam and Emily first met in 2016 through a debate tournament at which Emily judged Adam (she did vote for him). They then became friends in 2017 and got to know each other through Adam's sister, Ellen, common interests, and an internship. Their first date was three days before Adam moved to Pennsylvania for college. Emily finished her undergrad in Colorado in 2017 and then moved to DC for work. They dated long distance until May of 2019. Adam and Emily reconnected in May of 2020 while both were in Arizona due to the COVID quarantine. They began dating (again) September of 2020. Upon graduating in 2021, Adam moved back to Colorado and Emily did the same in July. They got engaged in February 2022 and here we are!
