High School Sweethearts. Kimberly went to the Prout School High School, Philip attended South Kingstown High School. Needing a date to her homecoming dance, not knowing Philip but acquaintances through mutual friends- Kim asked Phil to her homecoming dance. One month later, Phil asked Kim to his, still as friends. Months passed, and that spring we became a couple. We both attended the University of Rhode Island together, Phil graduating with a masters degree in public administration and Kim a nursing degree. After graduation Phil escalated his captain and fishing career while Kim worked at Rhode Island Hospital living on the water in a 500 square foot beach cottage. Kim decided to pursue a doctorate degree in nurse anesthiology in CT which she gradutes this May. Devastated to leave home, we always knew South Kingstown is our forever home and can not wait to begin our life together back home after graduation. Our 10 years of dating have been filled with traveling, shared holidays, boat trips, block island weekends, and enjoying our black lab Finley. On Christmas Day 2019, in front of the Christmas tree- Phil proposed to Kim in front of her extended family. Without hesitation, we decided to tie the knot on our favorite island surrounded by the Block Island sound, and with all of our favorite people.
