Sean and Emily met on the first day of 9th grade and quickly became best friends. They got to know each other better in History class where Emily thought Sean's name was Earl. Sean asked Emily out towards the end of freshman year and continued dating through high school. After high school graduation, Sean went to Thaddeus Stevens in Lancaster, PA for 2 years and Emily went to Washington College in Maryland for 4 years. They did long distance - making the most of seeing each other every few weeks during those four years (except for the summer of '18 Emily was in Mississippi). After countless vacations and adventures, Sean planned a beautiful evening at Longwood Gardens Christmas where he proposed in December 2023. Sean and Emily will now be celebrating their 12th anniversary (started dating on March 15th, 2013) on their wedding date with all of you.
