Adira was a freshman and Jocelyn was a senior at Loras College in Dubuque, IA. Can you guess where they met for the first time? That's right, the gym. Shortly after they made plans to hang out during the slow weeks during their J-Term classes. The first time the two of them hung out together, they made homemade salsa and bonded over their love of cats. Today they are still each others favorite lifting partners, they still bond over their cats, and they eat salsa. A lot.
Finally! Graduation day was here. While they had talked about getting married before, Adira's only request was that she graduated from college first. After the graduation ceremony both Adira's and Jocelyn's families took to the Rockbowl (football field) to take pictures. This is where Jocelyn got down on one knee and popped the big question in front of both of their families and friends! The Rock bowl holds a special place in their hearts because that's where they spent their collegiate athletic days. It now holds an even bigger place in their hearts because this is where their next chapter started.
