He had just transferred to Plymouth State and I was starting my junior year. I invited my friend Joe Vano over to see my new apartment and he brought his friend Steve. As I got to know Steve, he informed me that he prefers Stephen and I think he told me that because he knew he’d be keeping me around for a while, since all his other friends on campus knew him as Steve. Stephen and I would hangout in groups together and one of our first real “hangouts” was at Livermore Falls, which would be the location of our engagement photos. We were both interested but neither wanted to break the friendship line, until I did at a party. I kissed him. A few weeks later, he asked me to be his girlfriend while watching a meteor shower on the rugby field. October 21st, 2017 we started dating. March 11th, 2022 he proposed and we became fiancés. November 5th, 2023 we rescued our little lady Ruby and became dog parents. And finally, September 26th, 2025 we will promise eachother forever as husband and wife. We can’t wait to celebrate our love with you all!!
