Ethan and Mary Anne met through the Oneonta State Equestrian Team. After crossing paths a couple times previously, they exchanged snapchats at an OSET gathering. They snap chatted and texted for roughly two weeks, both oblivious to each others growing feelings. At a horse show in Morrisville, Coach Joyce asked Mary Anne if she had a crush on Ethan. After Mary Anne admitted her feelings, Joyce texted Ethan's friend (and former OSET captain) Lauren. Joyce promised that Lauren would "subtly" tell Ethan. Lauren screenshot the conversation with Joyce and sent it to Ethan. Mary Anne and Ethan went on their first date at Tokyo on Main St in Oneonta March 18, 2016. They happily dated for almost five years when Ethan proposed on January 30, 2021 on his 30th birthday in their apartment in Huntington Hall on SUNY Oneonta's campus. They are elated to get married in the place where their love story began and cannot wait to share this day with you!
