Patrick and I met in spring semester, 2017 at The Ohio State University. I was a freshman trying to cheat off of Patrick, a sophomore, on an economics pop-quiz. Spring semester 2018, our paths crossed again. After a disastrous first date, we didn’t see each other again until spring semester 2019. We decided to give the date another go and this time we were inseparable. Patrick and I grew up together, and after four years, three jobs, two cities and one beloved hamster, we decided to get engaged. Patrick proposed on June 18th 2023, our anniversary, in Riverside Park on the Upper West Side. Now, after 3 years of engagement, we are set to wed. We look forward to celebrating with friends and family from around the world on June 26th in New York City!
