K + P

The first time we met was our Sophomore year at Miami University, in an introductory course for educators called EDP 201. Taught by our crazy professor from Moldova who gave out hand crocheted doilies as prizes (we still have and use the ones she individually gave us), we were put in a group project together. You might think that's where this love story started - we need a few more years before that truly begins. In fact, we both barely remember that group project and we went our, seemingly, separate ways after the class. The start of our Junior years, we both went on to be hired and work at the best restaurant to ever grace Oxford, Quarter Barrel. From then through the first semester of Senior year due to QB closing down (RIP), we formed an incredibly tight, and obnoxious, friend group. Both of us were seeing other people during this time frame, and quite literally never once thought of each other in a romantic way. Despite what others may have already seen, we ended college simply best friends and nothing more. Late summer after we graduated, Presley found himself with our best friend Olive down in Atlanta, GA. She decided to play Cupid, and convinced him that the right thing to do was to admit that he had had a massive crush for a while. He agreed that was the best course of action and after the phone call that altered our future together, we decided to start moving from friends into something more. 2019 / 2020 New Year's Eve in Chicago, after a very fun filled night and in Maggie Meyer's apartment, he made it official. In the moment, he was pretty peeved that he did it on a holiday. But, 5 years later, it worked out for the best as we prepare for our wedding on the very same holiday. We moved to downtown Cincinnati in the summer of 2021 and have enjoyed growing, laughing, and learning about unconditional love. We are so excited that you get to be part of our journey as we go from group members, to co workers, to best friends, to fiances, to finally an old married couple.
