We met for the very first time in October 2017 at the University of Valley Forge during Jess's last semester on campus, less than two months before she was to move home to Pittsburgh. Our mutual friend introduced the two of us and said something along the lines of, "I can't believe you two never met before". Shortly after this introduction, we wondered the same thing ourselves. For the weeks to follow, we spent hours and hours together. We drove around our little college town listening to music, sharing stories, playing games, discussing our passions, and laughing - so. much. laughing. In retrospect, it is crazy to think we only spent about six weeks getting to know each other in person. Two years of long distance dating later, we are overjoyed as we prepare to spend the rest of our lives together as husband and wife.
