We both were in Greek Life and in the School of Management at Boston University, and we met in a finance class. A few weeks into the semester, someone took Gabi's seat, so she went to sit with her sorority sister who sat with Max. We became friendly and started studying and doing homework together. We went on our first official date about 7 months later, and the rest is history!
After sheltering-in-place for almost 2 months, we decided to do a quarantine-approved outdoor activity and had a date night at the Top of Twin Peaks, the highest point in San Francisco with the best views of the city. We pointed out all the landmarks we could see, and then Max got down on one knee! We Facetime'd our families, then went home and ordered Italian food for delivery and opened a nice bottle of red we had been saving for our engagement. Gabi knew the engagement was coming, but had no clue it would be in that moment - the best quarantine surprise!
