We met at optometry school and started off with friendship. During the summer between our first and second year of school, we both worked at our school's clinic. From there we started to spend much more time together. We kept our feelings about the other hidden until that Fall at our annual "Eye Ball," where we finally admitted we liked each other. December 3, 2017 Patrick asked me to be his girlfriend. October of 2018 we moved into our first home together, and then December of 2019 we adopted our newest pup Ret together. June 17, 2020 Patrick got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. We are excited to share our love and life commitment with our family and friends, and cannot wait to celebrate with you all!
