Our story started in 2018 in Lewisburg, WV as next door neighbors in an apartment complex at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine. Stephen moved to West Virginia from a small town in Virginia and Abbey from Northeast Ohio. We became best friends and fell in love, spending each morning in the gym together and afternoons hiking and fishing in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia in between all the studying. We matched in emergency medicine residencies in 2022 and moved to North Canton, OH. He is completing his residency at Aultman Hospital in Canton and Abbey at Akron General Cleveland Clinic in Akron Ohio. In May of 2024 on a trip back to Stephen's hometown, Smithfield, VA, Stephen proposed fittingly on a hike in Windsor Castle Park. Our love of the outdoors will be evident at our beautiful wedding venue in Kirtland Ohio in the fall of 2025.
