How We Met (Lily's Story)

First comes school, then comes marriage

I first met Dean when I was at a really anxious place in my life. I just moved to college in the early move-in program, just left my family for the first time to actually be living on my own. Worse of all, I didn't have many friends going to Ferris. I first saw him during an informational meeting about the TIP early move in program, he was across the room so I didn't see much of him. It wasn't until the next day when I would finally meet him. We were on a break from all of our seminars that TIP was having us do, and I was talking to a friend of mine at the time. Dean was all alone and I felt like I could brighten up my mood and that I should make more friends for college. So, in my new found cheerful mood, I practically jumped over to him and just said "hi! How are you?!" After that, I was really glad I didn't scare him off, and we kinda started hanging out ever since then.  He asked me out a few days after that on August 31st 2017 and we have been happy ever since. I couldn't ask for anyone better to be my husband.

How We Met (Dean's Story)

Love at second sight

I saw her across the room of new students. I thought she was someone's younger sibling. First time I heard her speak was when she said her name was Loyal Lily. She copied names down like I did because it was a memory game and both of us are not good at them. I met her during a break from our rigorous schedule. She was drinking a can of Coke as I surveyed the new lands that I called home. She said hello in a perky and adorable way. We started hanging out in a room we dubbed "The Therapy Room" at North Hall - where I lived. Soon after that, we started dating and shared my dorm room because hers had no air conditioning. We then studied abroad in South Korea for 3 months together and moved into an apartment in the states right after.
