Lisa and Brandon met in the first week of medical school and quickly became good friends. Their best friends immediately sensed chemistry and thought there was something more going on, but they both were in stubborn denial for a few months. Eventually they came to their senses and began dating in February 2017. Ever since, they have loved cooking together, going on weekend adventures to hiking destinations and fun cities, and pretending to study in coffee shops and libraries around Rochester. In February 2019 Brandon and Lisa went to Ottawa where they spent the day ice-skating on the canal, seeing the sights, and warming up in cute coffee shops. In the evening, Brandon took Lisa on a romantic walk through Byward Market to a secluded area overlooking the city lights, where he got down on one knee and proposed. She said yes!
