We first met at a dinner for Patsy’s brother’s birthday in January, 2014. In true Marissa form, unimpressed by Patsy’s choice of more than casual sweats attire, she barely gave him a second look. Cut to that summer and it was as if Marissa saw Patsy through a new light. Sparks flew at a laid back Sunday hang and our summer of love began. Friends and family were beyond thrilled meet the guy who captured Marissa’s attention and the girl who captured Patsy’s heart.
Patsy had gotten Marissa tickets to see Hamilton for the second time for her birthday. On that fateful Wednesday evening, the unsuspecting Marissa met Patsy for dinner. Maintaing his usual cool, calm and collected disposition, Patsy wasn’t about to give anything away. We made our way to the theater, took our seats and enjoyed the first act. During intermission, mid conversation and in front of many onlookers, Patsy dropped to is knee and asked Marissa the easiest question she has ever had to answer: Will You Marry Me? With a roaring applause from the others in the theater, Marissa answered with a tear-filled YES! and sealed the deal with a kiss.
