We first connected through Hinge and officially met in the fall of 2023—thanks to a Notre Dame vs. Duke football game and a funny mix-up between Mooresville and Morrisville (a two-hour driving difference!). Despite the detour, we hit it off almost immediately. The first few months were full of discovery and laughter, and before long, Sean was dancing by my side at my DPT program's winter gala, where he met all of my classmates. Since then, we’ve spent countless days running, dancing, and enjoying just about any outdoor activity—often as a much-needed escape from my basement-level classes at UNC’s medical school! Over time, we’ve learned how to communicate with patience, lead with kindness, and grow in love with God and our faith at the center of our relationship. We’re so excited to begin this new chapter together, and we absolutely cannot wait to celebrate our marriage surrounded by our favorite people. Let the countdown begin!
