It was September 7th, 2020. Izzy had a meeting with Sophie Willis (one of Izzy's bridesmaids) in the usually packed Catholic Campus Ministries (CCM) Student Center later that evening, but there was something tugging on her heart to arrive early. So she did- an hour early! The only person there was Landon (who was on an alleged dating fast), watching the Celtics beat the Raptors while Zooming in on his friend Del's (one of Landon's groomsmen) Bible study. Izzy's opening line to the then Vice President of CCM was "You're the guy that writes the emails, right?" Landon was doing his best to nonchalantly play it off that he was talking to a beautiful woman (while both were wearing masks during the height of the pandemic). They talked for the whole hour, discussing their quarantine hobbies, the Green Bay Packers, and their general interests. Sophie eventually came to get Izzy for their meeting, but they both left that divine rendezvous with a little extra joy in their hearts. From that night on, Izzy and Landon's friendship was quick to grow over many games of pool, frisbee on the Sunken Gardens, tree-climb sunsets, and a love of Ben and Jerry's. In their friendship, Izzy was blown away by Landon's joy, spontaneity, and true love of Christ and others. Landon knew he was going to have to make an exception to his fast for a once-in-a-lifetime woman. They started dating a few months later in February and got engaged on August 6th, 2022. They cannot wait to enter the sacrament of marriage as partners and best friends, incredibly loved by each other, to be a sign of Christ's love to His Church.
