We met on my first day of college at Triton. I was assuming that I would not meet anyone but on my first class on the first day of school, I saw Conor. We were in the same Intro to Drama class and I thought he was so cute. We did not talk for awhile because I was super shy but we were also in the same art history class and we bonded over art and David Bowie. - Pamela Pamela and I met while we were enrolled in two classes together at Triton. One was an English class, the other an Art History class, our respective majors. One of the many moments that signaled to me that I should ask this person out was when we were the only two people in class to say our favorite of the three Chekhov plays we read was "Uncle Vanya." The other was when she brought up how huge Space Jam was to her growing up. - Conor

Conor and I vacationed in Italy and Paris in July 2019. We were going to see the Louvre and I was so excited. Conor kept suggesting we go to a fancy dinner after to celebrate and I choose a nice vegan place and he made sure that we both were nicely dressed. We get to the museum and I was in such a bad mood because we walked super far and it was during a crazy heat wave. The museum is big and we were there for about 1.5 hours and I was ready to go eat. Conor kept pressuring me to take one photo with him as a memory but I was so fed up that I kept rejecting him. Finally, I felt bad and said one photo only. He walks me over to a bench in a little private area and begins saying the most beautiful speech which sadly I cannot remember now because I was so emotional I could barely focus. I could tell that he was about to propose and my response was "Oh my god, please don't do this" because I was so nervous. The nerves set aside and I finally said yes and accepted a beautiful vintage gold engagement ring. I left France with a hilarious story, a new ring, and an amazing fiancé. - Pamela I chose to propose at the Louvre specifically because Pamela and I's first time going out anywhere together was the Art Institute of Chicago. I figured proposing at the most famous art museum in the world all the way in France was a nice symbol of how far our relationship had gone. This is more or less the gist of what my speech entailed. Pamela's story also slightly exaggerates exactly how annoyed she was, she agreed to a few photos beforehand. - Conor
