Perched upon a hill of their quaint hometown sat a small school filled with a tight knit community. She was the manager of his high school basketball team when their love story began. He left for University of Pittsburgh the following summer while she finished her senior year bussing back and forth across Pennsylvania to visit him. While visiting Pitt exactly one year after they had began courting, a friend said, “man you are always happy, but you’re happiest when she’s here”. From that moment on they knew they had something special that distance could not disrupt. From Lambertville NJ, to Pittsburgh PA, Harrisonburg VA, Florence Italy, across the state of Virginia, Michigan, and Maine their love traveled far and wide until they finally settled together in Morristown NJ nine years later. Like both of their lucky numbers, the number on his basketball jersey, and the month of their shared birthday, year 10 together will be the year they say “I do”.
