In the summer of 2017, Emily got a post-grad job offer in D.C. and swore off boys until after graduation. Little did she know, she would match with her future husband on a dating app shortly into senior year. Tim messaged Emily that they had a class together and suggested they study for the first test together. In a major with over 1,000 people in their class, they did not cross paths until senior year. Which was probably for the best, given neither of them were ready for anything serious until then. They messaged for a few weeks online and the first official “date” was when Tim crashed Emily’s 21st birthday party. It was the first time Tim chose a girl over sports! They have been together ever since. Emily and Tim have JMU, Marketing 384, and Dr. Clarke to thank. In all seriousness, we have grown up together the last 5 years, been through more than we could have ever imagined, welcomed the cutest pup to our family, and progressively advanced in our careers. There is no one else we’d rather grow old with. We cannot wait to make it official with all of you to help celebrate!
