Emily and Oliver were at a house party at UMass Amherst during their junior year when Emily spotted Oliver from across the room. It was the dead of winter and Oliver was wearing a Bay Area tshirt from Chinatown, crocs and a sun hat and dancing provocatively, alone. Emily turned to her friend and said, “I think I’m going to marry that man.” The rest is history :)
After a romantic dinner of ramen and beer at Iza Ramen, Emily and Oliver got into the car and started driving home. Emily didn't realize until they pulled up next to Corona Heights that they were not headed in the right direction. Oliver suggested that they go for a walk to the top of the mountain because it was such a nice night. Emily said no. Oliver asked again and Emily told him only for 2 mins because it was too dark and she had just had a lot of soup. They walked to the top of the mountain and had a perfect view of the San Francisco skyline. Oliver, then, tried to get down on one knee, but Emily stopped him by saying, "No, oh no, god no, oh no no." Knowing Emily the way he does, Oliver took this as a definite yes! They went home and celebrated with Peanut Butter Stouts and surprised all of their family and friends :)
