It all started in the first year of high school when they became violin partners.....as the last two seats since they were the worst violinists in the orchestra. Mica had made a friend at the high school who happened to be Jeremy's ex and thus took a disliking to him. So whenever Jeremy tried to show off his vibrato skills, all Mica could think of was "man, what a loser." By the second year of high school, they had a couple classes together as well as lunch. Through a mutual friend, Roiky, they started to realize that the other wasn't so bad. It wasn't until the third year, when they took an English class together taught by Mrs. Ungerer, that they really started to get to know each other. Since they didn't know anyone else in the class, they sat next to each other. They annoyed each other to no end with pencil poking, drawing in the other's notebook, distracting each other from schoolwork, as well as coating one another in tattoos. Soon enough, it was nearing the time for prom. Mica had heard a rumor that Jeremy was going to ask her. So in typical Mica fashion, she just straight up asked Jeremy during class if he was going to ask her or not. Jeremy nervously laughed and eventually sputtered out the question while Mica just stared with her arms crossed. And thankfully, Mica said yes. They continued to have classes together and annoy one another as they went from juniors to seniors. Eventually, prom was around the corner again. This time, Mica found herself in a little dilemma (another story for another time) and so she went ahead and asked Jeremy for help. She offered to pay for everything as long as he escorted her to prom. It was while they were on the way home from prom, when Mica kept pestering Jeremy on whether he enjoyed himself or not, that Jeremy told her that he didn't enjoy himself but had stayed throughout the whole thing because he just wanted her to be happy. That's when they both realized how much they really cared for each other. Time went on, they both graduated from high school and went to college. Mica went to Ohio State to be a division I olympic-style rifle athlete with hopes of medical school while Jeremy went to West Chester to major in computer science. They kept in touch, but did not really connect again until the end of year two. It was Clare's graduation party where they truly reconnected. During the middle of the party, they snuck away to the roof to just chat and catch up. While they had dated other people in college, they realized they never truly forgot about one another. Jeremy even said that he kept comparing all of his dates with Mica. Finally, Mica said, "why not? Let's try!" And so they started long distance dating. Since Mica had rifle competitions on the weekend and the tighter schedule, Jeremy would take the time to go out to Ohio. He would hop on a train from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, where Mica would drive the three hours from Columbus to pick him up at midnight. And on the way home, Jeremy would bravely take the Greyhound at 11 pm from Columbus to Pittsburgh before taking the train back to West Chester. All in all....a lot of traveling just to see each other. Eventually, Jeremy transferred to Ohio State, where they got to spend much more time together. Soon enough, they knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. Since Mica had been the one to initiate the conversations of prom, to ask Jeremy to date her, as well as say "I Love you" first, Jeremy made her promise that he would be the one to pop the ultimate question, which he did on February 12, 2023 while they were on a weekend getaway in Pittsburgh to see the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Today, Jeremy works as a software developer for a pharmaceutical company called Benecard. Mica works as a Therapy Aide at Helen M. Simpson Rehab Hospital and is in nursing school. They just bought a house in Harrisburg where they hope to someday raise 2.5 kids together. Now, they are anxiously awaiting the words "I Do"...
