The two "met" when Connor was playing baseball for Henry E. Lackey High School with Veronica's older brother, Aaron. In the summer of 2014, Connor played on a summer baseball team which Veronica's dad coached. Let's just say Veronica had a favorite player to watch on the field. For the next 7 years they followed along with each other's lives through Instagram - Connor joining the Army, Veronica going to college in Colorado. In 2021, Connor posted a picture of about a hundred snakehead (a Southern Maryland delicacy - look them up) that he and friends had harvested while bowfishing. Out of pure curiosity, Veronica asked where he had gotten so many. They began talking from there and the rest is history. They did long distance for 2 years while Veronica finished college in Colorado. Many flights between Colorado and Maryland allowed time to enjoy fishing, hunting, collecting shark teeth, and enjoying each other's company. They've been inseparable ever since. Shoutout to baseball and snakehead!
