We had a few classes together throughout our time at Providence College, but we never spoke to each other. In Zachary's senior year, we were both in a class about the American Presidency and were put in a small discussion group together. We talked about the reading and continued to catch each others' eyes throughout the rest of the class. We began messaging on Facebook, which led to texting, which eventually resulted in dining hall lunch dates, late night discussions over wine, and a first kiss in the PC parking lot. Ever since that night we've been together!

Zachary proposed at the Long Wharf in Boston when we were home visiting family. He said we should get a picture by the water and asked a nearby woman to take our picture. Little did I know, he had told the woman he was proposing, and to make sure she kept snapping photos. We took one normal picture, and I turned to look at him and he was down on one knee! Of course, I said yes!
