We met in the spring of 2016 while working together at Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys. Both of us were passionate about the work and consequently we began meeting outside of working hours to plan and discuss how to improve things in the classroom. These frequent meetings allowed us to learn more about each other and our relationship quickly deepened. In August of that same year we decided to take a spontaneous trip to New Orleans. It was a whirlwind of fun and we have been inseparable ever since. Three years later we found ourselves back in New Orleans, where, while walking along the Mississippi River in Crescent Park, Joel thrilled Meredith by proposing. We are so excited for the next chapter of our lives.
