Abigail and Jeremiah both attended the University of Florida, where they met early on in their first year through mutual friends. For the remainder of that first year, they exchanged passing freshman-year small talk in the dining hall, run-ins at social events and football games, and group studying at the library. It was not until the following year that friendship turned into a something more, and they began dating in May 2018 after a stargazing date turned ask-out. Through the next few years, they realized that they had the type of relationship that could truly go the distance, both literally and figuratively. Shortly after graduating, the two underwent near back-to-back years of long distance for Abigail to further her nursing education and for Jeremiah to finish his PA education. Fast forward to July 2024, where Jeremiah proposed in Portland, Maine at the Portland Head Light surrounded by Maine's beautiful, rocky coastline. The couple is filled with love and excitement to share this big next step with our closest friends and family members!
