Our Story

We met while undergrads at John Carroll University, taking what we hoped would be the last required math class of our lives — stats. An instant friendship was formed between the hallways of the Carroll News, where I was the arts & life editor, and WJCU, where Chris was station manager. From there, we progressed to date parties, movie nights, and evenings exploring Coventry — the hip place to bar hop. Chris charmed my Kappa sisters at dances and I brought cheering sections to his lacrosse games. After college, I stayed in Cleveland to start my first job at a medical trade magazine and Chris returned to Pittsburgh to pursue his creative writing career and coach lacrosse, but luckily, that’s not where our story ended. We both grew incredibly familiar with the PA and Ohio turnpikes and made the most of our weekends together. Friday nights we’d meet at the movies and Saturdays were busy with trips to museums and dinners with friends from both cities. On Sundays, we’d watch the Steelers. I even acquired an E-ZPass and a Terrible Towel. Then one day, I found a great job in Pittsburgh. Since then, we’ve enjoyed many adventures together, including countless trips all over the country and world — Rome, Paris, Charleston, and Sioux Falls — to name a few. We enjoy hosting dinner parties, keeping our garden alive, watching Jeopardy, trying new local breweries — and we still have regular movie nights. But the greatest adventures are yet to come. We can’t wait to celebrate our marriage with all of you in Pittsburgh, the City of Champions, on June 27, 2020!
