How We Met

First comes school, then comes marriage

We met as classmates in graduate school at Bentley University in August 2017. Despite being classmates for almost 2 years, there was no form of relationship between us other than basic greetings. However, during our study abroad program in Lisbon, Portugal in March 2019, we went on our first date. It sounds so romantic to have a first date in Europe but the date was a complete disaster for so many reasons! After returning from the trip, we both had our minds made up that we were done with one another. If you had asked either of us then which of our classmates we thought we would end up marrying, we would have both picked each other dead last. But God was not done with us! A few weeks after returning from our class trip, we naturally gravitated towards each other more and more and started talking again. Though we were so different in many ways, we slowly realized how much we truly had in common specifically in the area of our faith in God and core spiritual values. We started dating the week of graduation in May 2019 and we haven't looked back since! It wasn't an easy choice to make as we both had to do a lot of praying and consecrating in order to be sure that we were fit for each other. After getting confirmations in various ways from God, we got engaged to be married! In such a big world, God allowed our paths to cross at Bentley University (a place we least expected to meet our spouse) and we are forever grateful. God has such a sense of humor. The very thing that we run from could be our biggest blessing! Boy, are we happy that we met each other. Join us as God takes us on the journey to forever

For all the days along the way
