We met while freshmen in college just around the corner in an 8 am class (which back then was early). Dylan would accompany me to breakfast in the dinning hall after each class (fun fact Dylan never eats breakfast) and get to know each other. The end of school rolls around and a fated party playing cornhole is where we found our love.

We took a lovely holiday trip to explore Italy, and on day three, after an elaborate plan involving fake food poisoning (well done Kim and Maddie), perfectly timed texts, and a “non-refundable yacht trip” (which, as it turns out, doesn’t fit through the Venice canals), we found ourselves watching the most beautiful sunrise along the canal. Little did I know, there was a team of photographers waiting as he got down on one knee. Complete shocked, It was the most decisive I’ve been: a quick yes, followed by a beautiful day fully planned around Venice. I truly had no idea what was happening and was happily going along without question… I guess it paid off.
