Marian here! Nathan and I first met at the opening mixer night while we both studied abroad in Austria. After a few weeks, our friend groups merged and we became friends. Over the summer, partially thanks to Nathan's urgings, I decided to transfer schools to Franciscan. I knew I wanted to surprise our friend group with my arrival, but Nathan was running transportation for the school, so I chose him as 'the knower'. As the semester went on, we became close friends, spending hundreds of hours talking, having weekly movie nights, and countless game nights. Finally, on October 30, 2020, we went on our first date (the best first date I'd ever been on), and the rest is history! I am so happy to be sharing the rest of my life with such a kind, hilarious, and faith-centered man.
