As every good Penn Stater knows, canning for THON was a right of passage that not only served a good cause but also brought strangers together to be lifelong friends. So when Alex and Emily met on her first ever canning trip, it's no surprise it was something special. After being friends for awhile it felt so natural to transition into a relationship. Moving to New York City after graduation and starting their own careers, both of them knew that every life step they took they fit together so perfectly. These two have known that their own separate lives did not look complete without the other fitting into it. Alex proposed on November 15th, 2019 after much speculation on Emily's part. He planned a fun-filled engagement weekend full of love from family and friends. And so begins the next part of their amazing life adventure together!
