Molly and Wilson first met in a dorm room their freshmen year at Mount Mercy University in fall 2019, but the sparks didn't fly until fall 2022 during an ethics conference at Notre Dame University. The two found themselves as part of a small group having dinner on the second night of the conference, and after a few draft Guinness beers and lots of small talk the connection was formed. After going out on a string of Christmas themed dates and spending New Years Eve together, they officially starting dating on 1/29/2023. All it took was a little over a year and a half of dating, until Wilson dropped down to one knee and asked Molly to be his wife; and she said yes!
