Emily and Kevin are a love story over twelve years in the making. They first crossed paths in sixth grade at Milton Somers Middle School. She noticed him at new student orientation, probably because he was taller than everyone else. She started passing him notes in Ms. Hopkins’ seventh grade Language Arts class and he answered them with characteristic sarcasm. After crushing on each other and engaging in flirtatious banter for three leisurely years, they decided to take the plunge and begin dating in October, 2011. While Emily earned her degree in Math Education and Kevin earned his in Mechanical Engineering, they enjoyed a long-distance romance with sight-seeing, cooking, and Skyping. He is still drawn to her outgoing personality and she loves his wry sense of humor. On Easter morning in 2019, Emily and Kevin decided to visit Disney’s Magic Kingdom with their friend, Peyton. Emily did not know that Kevin had stashed a diamond ring in his carry-on luggage. When he dropped to one knee in front of Cinderella’s castle and proposed that they make their fairy tale official, Emily was speechless and Peyton cried. Kevin was just relieved he had managed to pull off the surprise. How do two math whizzes celebrate love? With a perfect date, of course. On 10-10-2020, Emily and Kevin look forward to starting their next adventure with all of their favorite people.
