We first crossed paths in 2016 during our third year at the University of Rhode Island, when our pharmacy cohort finally brought us into the same classroom. What started as a simple request to share an online textbook quickly turned into study hangouts that became our favorite part of the day, mostly because we weren’t really studying. Over the years, our friendship grew into love as we bonded through travel, live music, and a shared commitment to living life to the fullest. We also experienced deep heartbreak and time apart after the loss of Brian's dad, but with space and growth, we eventually found our way back to each other just as Brian was caring for his mom in Boston. He proposed in her tiny hospital room so she could share that moment with us. Her memory, along with his dad's, continues to guide us every day, especially through the wagging tails of our pups, Charlie and Lucy. Knowing how precious life is, we’re so excited to celebrate our love, get married, and build a beautiful life together. We can't wait to see you in Spring Lake!
