We first met in August 2015 during our first week as dental students at the University of Detroit Mercy. We quickly realized a natural bond between us, as we became friends from the very first day. Over the course of our four years at UDM, we spent countless hours together. We sat next to each other in class, studied for exams together and even chose each other as partners for the infamous “stab lab” where we performed our first real injections on one another. We had no idea what we were doing at the time (don’t worry we’re good at them now!), but we survived! In our free time, we enjoyed exploring different areas of Detroit together and going for walks around the neighborhood where we both lived. We always felt like what we had was special and over the last five years we have shared many life experiences together. We have spent time with both of our families, traveled on weekend getaways with our friends and recently bought our first home. It all culminated with a marriage proposal in August 2024 at Belle Isle - one of our favorite spots to spend time together ever since we first met. Detroit is a special place to us and we look forward to creating another beautiful memory in the city where it all started!
