Megan and Jared met working in their undergraduate research lab (shout out to Rob), where they shared a biosafety hood for nearly 40 hours every week. What started as a friendship between coworkers quickly turned into the highlights of their days, thanks to Megan's endless supply of fun and interesting questions (Jared will never think about seagulls the same way). Slowly, but surely, Megan cracked through Jared's quiet shell, and Jared started looking forward to the time in the hood more than anything else. One day, Megan invited Jared over for home-made ramen and games. Jared almost said no, but something nudged him to say yes and they are both forever grateful that he listened. That night turned out to be one of the best nights of their lives. From there, everything seemed to speed up in the best possible way. They found themselves looking for any and every excuse to spend time together; watching shows, playing games, and just being in the same room together. It was only a matter of time until a conversation would be had about how nice and peaceful life was together. We finally opened up our can of worms on July 10th, 2022, when we accidentally pulled an all-nighter on the world's most comfortable bean bag. Time has been flying by ever since, and life has only gotten sweeter with each passing day. We are so excited to take this next step together, and to celebrate with all the people who mean the most to us!
