Bethany and Adam started out as a couple of tour guides with no tours to give at the Newman Center at the University of Illinois, basically getting paid to become friends. That was in the fall semester of 2015. The quote to the left is courtesy of Adam's 2016 New Years resolution: "In 2016, if I think it, I say it!" Bethany advised Adam this was a generally poor policy, but appreciated the sentiment. That sentiment grew within both of their hearts over the coming years as they both grew in their Catholic faith and in their friendship. Bethany considered becoming a religious sister and discerned that God was calling her to her forever dream, marriage and motherhood. Adam discerned the priesthood shortly thereafter, and found that God was calling him to marriage, and even more specifically to take a chance on that shot he called back in 2016. Adam took his shot (twice) and swept Bethany off her feet. The two fell quickly in love and will be wed December 28th, 2019.
