Dean and Emma met in high school band. Dean played trumpet and Emma played flute. They became close friends over the years, and despite Emma's persistence, remained just that. Finally, right before Emma followed Dean to Auburn University, Dean decided that maybe he should give dating Emma a shot, and we know how this story unfolds. Emma and Dean have spent the last 7 years growing and experiencing life together through college, new jobs, medical school, long distance, and a pandemic. They are thrilled to start this new chapter of their life and look forward to celebrating this milestone with all their friends and family.
