Morgan and Henry met volunteering as student leaders for the Lifeteen program at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Charlottesville, Va. For the annual potluck dinner, Morgan asked Henry to make a dish together. While gathering ingredients at Whole Foods, our relationship started over a lunch date, preparing orzo pasta, enjoying Arch’s frozen yogurt, and sharing love of our Faith. After this first date, we took every opportunity to spend time together. A brief holiday separation was kept alive through numerous texts until Morgan and Henry were reunited for Spring Semester. The rest is history!
On the fifth anniversary of our first date, Henry proposed to Morgan at the Marriage Chapel located in the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington D.C.. Henry thought through every detail of the proposal, even as far as having Morgan sit on his left so that she might not notice the box on the right side of his blazer. The box, which held the engagement ring, was wrapped in a love note written by Morgan when Henry started his new job in Charlottesville in April 2018. Henry edited the note to read “We will do amazing things.” And so, our next adventure begins. We look forward to celebrating this next step in our journey with you.
