Although we were both athletes at Florida State University (and practiced 100ft from each other nearly every day), we had never crossed paths until October 22, 2016, when Conor's friend on the track team brought him to a "girl on the beach volleyball team's" 21st birthday party. We met that night at Vanessa's birthday party and have been inseparable since. From Tallahassee, Florida, to Portland, Oregon, to Los Angeles, California, we've had the opportunity to explore the west coast together and create new adventures every step of the way. Conor proposed on November 5, 2022 at Point Dume in Malibu. We had spent the day driving around and exploring Malibu, and just before sunset, Conor suggested we head up to Point Dume to watch the sunset before grabbing dinner. As the sun set, Conor got down on one knee and "they got proposed!" (IYKYK).
