How We Met

10.27.2017

Zach and MaryRose were fortunate enough to meet in a unique, organic way. Both attending a Fraternity Halloween party, MaryRose saw Zach across the room dressed as the one and only SpongeBob SquarePants. Having a few drinks in her, she felt the courage to run up to him and ask for a photo as if he were SpongeBob himself. Zach, stunned that a doe had come up to him asking for a picture, agreed. After the photo, MaryRose said thanks and ran off with her friends. Later on that night, after being embarrassed that a girl had seen him in that costume, Zach had removed it and went looking for MaryRose at the party. He found her in a crowd in another room and had the courage to go up to her. After they officially introduced themselves, they clicked right away. They chatted the rest of the night, and when the party was winding down, Zach asked to see her again for a date the next day. After the date the next day at the lavish Linda's Cafeteria at Sacred Heart, they were inseparable and saw each other every day the rest of the year until Zach graduated.
