Our story begins in 2015, during our freshman year at Roncalli High School. Under the Friday night lights of a September Roncalli varsity football game, we exchanged phone numbers and officially started dating in December. Our first dates were chauffeured by our parents, with many trips to the movies and the mall. We accompanied each other to all but one of our high school dances, cheered each other on at sporting events, and enjoyed many other milestones together. After completing high school, we both headed north. Riley attended Purdue University and Dylan attended Wabash College 30 miles south, always making time for weekend visits and Thursday night dates. After Riley graduated from Purdue, she moved on to Indiana University for graduate school, where we did our best to make weekend road trips to visit. We are now both in the early stages of our post-grad journey and ready to keep facing all that life brings as a team. In July 2024, we got engaged at Whitefish Point in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, starting another beautiful chapter in our story. Now, we cannot wait to get married in August!
