We met at Villanova University while Nora was in grad school. Ellis had just finished her Masters and started a job as a researcher in the same department as Nora. Ellis didn't speak to anyone for a few weeks and Nora thought this was very strange and tried her best to make eye contact and conversation. After awhile, it worked and then the rest is history!

We both knew it was coming since we went ring shopping together. Nora just had hers secretly expedited so Ellis wouldn't be on her toes waiting for the proposal. So one day, Nora sent Ellis on a Scavenger hunt all around the city. Each clue was hidden in a ring box located with a friend. The last clue sent Ellis to the front door of their apartment and when she opened the door, Nora was there waiting with a ring. And of course she said yes!

Ellis proposed to Nora by tricking her into walking to a dinner with friends near the Ben Franklin Bridge. Each friend incrementally said they were late or couldn't come, so Ellis convinced Nora into walking across the bridge while we waited. As we got to the top of the bridge there was a candle lit in a little corner and a bottle of champagne. Ellis then proposed and Nora said no way. : ) JK of course she said YES!
