They met during their first year at Purdue’s College of Pharmacy — just two faces in a sea of white coats and nervous energy. The first time their paths crossed, it was nothing dramatic. A shared class, a mutual friend, maybe even a group project. But from that simple beginning grew a connection neither of them expected. Study sessions turned into conversations that stretched long after the books were closed. They understood each other — the stress, the ambition, the caffeine-fueled chaos of pharmacy school — and through it all, they became each other’s constant. What started as friendship deepened with time. They supported one another through exams, rotations, and the unpredictable rhythm of life. Somewhere along the way, friendship quietly transformed into something more. There was no one moment where everything changed — just a steady unfolding of something real, something lasting. They didn’t just fall in love. They grew into it. Together. And the rest is history.
