The lovebirds first met at a small party and had a brief conversation about Arianna's recent field hockey injury. About a week later, Arianna happened to join Mitch while he worked a 12 hour security shift at a fish farming facility, also known as the "the dirt," where we really got to know each other. After spending half a day watching movies and telling stories, we began seeing each other and going on adventures on a regular basis.

Two weeks before our 4 year anniversary, we drove from San Diego to Las Vegas to celebrate Arianna's cousins birthday. After Mitch sneakily got the ring through a day club security team, Arianna had a feeling something was going on. Shortly after, Mitch got down on one knee and publicly declared his love for his future wife. Arianna said "YES", and we were engaged. We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Connecticut!
