2015 - HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIDE Hilary and Ross met through a mutual friend (Hinge...) during summer 2015. Upon meeting, Hilary's first words were, "Huh. You really are that tall...". It would be nice to say that it was love at first sight, however, they spent their first date at a loud beer festival where they couldn't quite hear or understand each other. If you ask Ross, he would probably say that he was sure that Hilary was the one during their second date while sipping cocktails and talking at Scofflaw, a local watering hole. 2017 - PUPPY LOVE Hilary and Ross decided to make the leap and move in together, and Hilary became the official dog-momma of Dany, their red heeler. The team filled their Logan Square apartment with plants and street art, quickly nesting and putting together a special place for their love to grow. 2018 - IF YOU LIKE IT, PUT A RING ON IT At some point while all this had been happening over the last few years, Hilary and Ross realized that they wanted it all to keep happening, forever. Ross found the perfect ring and and proposed the same day that it arrived (probably for the best, since he tends to forget his belongings all around Chicago). He took the day off of work, dressed Dany in a spiffy tuxedo, and filled their apartment with candles and flowers (Beyonce playing in the background...). Upon Hilary's arrival home, she immediately knew what was happening-- Ross proposed and Hilary said "Yes." 2019 - I DO Now it’s 2019 and we’re getting married. We’re heading back to Northampton to make it official and we're celebrating with the people we love.
