Rachel and Connor met at a pre-game party in the Santa Cruz dorms their Freshman year at UCSB. Tess, Rachel's Maid of Honor, dragged Rachel to this dorm room full of boys she had never met before. When they walked in Connor immediately quoted the movie Mean Girls and said "that's so fetch" in a sassy voice mimicking the actress in the movie. Rachel thought he was cute and really funny! They hit it off that night and quickly began dating. They have been together ever since; it has been almost ten years.
