We are so happy to announce our engagement with our family and friends! Patrick and I met while we were Sophomores at Riverside High School. Although we had an English class together, we barely spoke to each other. Thanks to our severe awkwardness, neither of us had the courage to even look in the other persons direction let alone say hi to one another while passing in the hall. Thankfully, that all changed when our friend decided to exchange our phone numbers for us, and we’ve been together ever since! We went on to graduate high school together, explore different countries, live in the city, adopted our puppy Lucy, and spend 10 incredible years with each other. At the end of the day, we really owe a huge thank you to Mrs. Milch, our tenth grade English teacher, for seating us close to each other, and our friend Sasha, who got us to talk to each other. We wouldn’t be celebrating on September 3rd without them. We are both so excited to share our wedding day with all of you!
