Chemistry from the Start

In 2010, we were both pre-med students at Fordham University in NYC. This meant we crossed paths as freshman biology students. We even sat in the same science lecture hall from day one, but our social circles never intersected. As fate would have it, we were partnered together by our general chemistry professor for a few weeks during our sophomore year - funny, none of us particularly enjoyed said class nor professor. :P We aced a couple of pH and titration labs working together, but after a few weeks we were back to solo lab experiments and we went on about our college kid business. Our pre-med class size started to dwindle down over the years, so our friend groups became a more friendly as we commiserated together in organic chemistry and beyond. Finally, during first semester of senior year, Max took a chance and asked Jess to lunch and that initial chem lab spark ignited from there! We graduated together hand-in-hand with plans to start our lives together in the medical field. After some trials and tribulations, we have done exactly that and couldn't be any prouder of everything we have accomplished together in life thus far. We cannot wait to celebrate the journey of our love with you in Lake George! xoxoxo, Jess and Max PS... check out one of the chemistry lab reports we completed together! Pretty sure being chem partners was the first litmus test for the rest of our lives before we even knew it!
