We both attended the University of Kansas as freshman in the fall of 2015. Ethan as a native Jayhawk and Cassidy as a transplant from North Carolina. We fell into the same social circle by virtue of living in the same dormitory and being in the theatre program together. While it started as a my-friends-know-your-friends sort of situation, we became best friends over the course of our first year, and by the time summer came we were both unhappy about having to be apart. At the start of the sophomore fall semester, we had both realized that we could have something special, and fell for each other. We wouldn't have found each other if it weren't for our family and friends pushing our lives in just the right way, and now we don't know what we would do without each other. We have been together for 5 years now and known each other for 6. In that time Cassidy has learned to love KU basketball, and Ethan has learned to ignore the fact that for a majority of her life, Cassidy was a Tar Heel. Now, we're starting our lives together in New York City with our cat, Cleo, and we can't wait to celebrate our marriage with the people we love the most.
