We were first acquainted in high school, but didn't know one another beyond passing greetings and class-related chatter. After some studying up north, a swipe right, two meals at Sam's Sports Grill (one planned, one serendipitous), and an infamous birthday disappearance, our relationship became official in late 2019. After three and a half years, schoolwork that became interviews and then new jobs, walks around Centennial Park, movie nights, and countless Jimmy Kelly's steaks, Riley proposed on May 27, 2023 on the lake where we had our first date. We are so excited to begin married life together!
