We met at the school gym during undergrad at Fredonia State in 2015. Later that day we talked more at the hockey/soccer mixer, went on an official date later that week to play darts. Richie then met my parents when he picked me up to take me hiking at Letchworth State Park during Thanksgiving break. I remember it was freezing cold out so we got hot chocolate on our way home and stopped at Chipotle of course (Richie's favorite) for dinner, then I went and met his family from there. I remember being nervous that he had 2 older sisters, me being an older sibling myself I know how intimidating we can be (lol), but they were amazing and more than welcoming. We were officially dating not long after - the rest is history!
