We're Getting Married!

It was a typical fall semester at The Ohio State University, where the leaves were just starting to change color, and students, including Corrine and Jeremy, hurried from one class to the next. Little did they know that biology class would lead to something far more important than just textbooks and notes. Their first interaction was casual. Jeremy sat in the same row as Corrine, exchanging polite nods here and there. The class was filled with lectures and labs, but it was during a group project that their paths truly crossed. What started as small talk about the assignment soon turned into conversations about their majors, their plans for the future, and, before long, their shared love of country music. The connection was instant and they quickly found they had more in common than they could have imagined. They both had a deep love for God, a commitment to their families, and a passion for helping others. It didn’t take long for them to realize their friendship was growing into something more. Their first date was simple but perfect. Jeremy took Corrine to Blaze Pizza in Columbus. They bonded over stories of growing up, their favorite country songs, and the little things that made them who they were. Even in those early moments, there was a sense of comfort, like they had known each other far longer than a few days. From that point on, most of their early time together was spent studying. Long nights in the library, textbooks spread out between them, but their connection never felt like a chore. It was easy. They balanced each other out, supporting one another through difficult exams and late-night cramming sessions. But it wasn’t just about academics; it was about a deeper bond forming between them. Since their undergraduate days, Jeremy has been by Corrine’s side through it all. He supported her through veterinary school, cheered her on during her veterinary internship, and helped her navigate the countless challenges that came with it. In return, Corrine encouraged Jeremy every step of the way as he pursued becoming a nurse, all while balancing a full-time job. Through the highs and the lows, they’ve stood by each other, and it’s this mutual support, love, and faith that has only made their bond stronger. Jeremy and Corrine may have started as two students in a biology class, but they’ve built a life full of shared memories, growth, and a love that continues to thrive, based in their shared values, their families, and the country songs that always bring them back to their roots.
