8.10.15 We met on our first day of medical school, when we were randomly assigned as anatomy lab partners. At first, we did not get along - Emily thought Jimmy was a know-it-all, and she was not wrong. We don't remember exactly how it happened, but we know that we were best friends within a few months (we like to joke it was the perfect combination of formaldehyde and sleep deprivation). We developed a bond that grew into a deep friendship and by Thanksgiving, we were in love and inseparable!
5.9.20 During the COVID-19 pandemic, our crazy intern schedules got even busier. We were proud to be able to care for our community, but we missed the comfort of spending time together. On our first mutual day off, we were relaxing in Jimmy’s Manayunk apartment when he proposed. It was simple, heartfelt and absolutely perfect. We spent the day celebrating in our pajamas, drinking champagne and eating peanut butter stuffed pretzels.
