It all began in the summer of 2018, on the sunlit shores of Northwestern’s campus beach. What started as a chance encounter quickly blossomed into something neither Adam nor Michelle expected. Within just two weeks of spontaneous hangouts, deep conversations, and difficult goodbyes, Adam knew this was something different—something special. So, he asked a simple question, "Do you want to give this dating thing a try?" From that moment on, their journey began. Together, they had many lunches at Norris and late-night study sessions at Mudd Library. They became each other's biggest cheerleaders and leaned on one another as they completed their degrees during the global pandemic. Since college, they've continued building a life together side by side — in seasons of joy, change, loss, and everything in between. They are each other’s safe haven. Now, Adam and Michelle are ready to write the next chapter of their forever.
