Teddy and Emily had eyes for each other long before their first date. Well...kind of. After months of going to the Loyola University Maryland Fitness Center at similar times and several (bad) attempts at small talk, Teddy finally struck up a conversation with Emily on a student government retreat in January of 2016. After connecting over their love of baseball, Teddy asked Emily on their first date one month later. The first date turned into a second (on Valentine's Day, no less) and seven years later - the rest is history!

Teddy worked hard to keep as much of his proposal plans a secret from Emily in February 2022, despite her doing her best Nancy Drew detective work! Led to Washington DC under the guise of Teddy having a "work meeting,” the two walked around the National Mall until they got to the DC War Memorial, where Teddy popped the question! The two then met up with both families and godmothers for a surprise dinner afterward, followed by an amazing weekend in our Nation's Capital.
