It all started in fall 2019 when we were both interviewing in St. Louis for medical school. On the evening before, Dylan was the first to arrive at a local restaurant for the pre-interview dinner. He sat in the middle of a long, family-style table. Lindsey's flight got delayed and she was the last to arrive at the dinner. She squeezed her way to the last open spot, near the middle of the long table, right next to Dylan. Lindsey introduced herself to the cute boy sitting next to her, and as they began chatting, they realized they both were in their senior years at the University of Minnesota. After the interviews, they embarked on their unofficial first date at the St. Louis airport. They continued to see each other in Minneapolis and started to fall in love. Although Dylan began medical school in Chicago and Lindsey stayed in Minnesota, they were able to visit each other frequently, find joy in nightly FaceTime dates, and grow together. (Silver lining: we can both navigate between Chicago and Minneapolis without directions). In January 2022, Dylan drove up from Chicago with a ring in his pocket, got down on one knee, and asked Lindsey to marry him. Lindsey got to answer the easiest question ever and of course said "YES!" Since then, we've supported each other through the ups and downs of medical school, gone on lots of adventures, and have recently added two adorable new kittens to the family (Kiwi and Basil). We are so excited to begin the next chapter of our love story and can't wait to celebrate with you all in May!
