We first met in 6th grade history class where we instantly had chemistry. We remained best friends over the years and during senior year in 2016, we decided to take our relationship to the next level. Our very first date was at the Columbus Zoo lights and for the past 7 years we have dedicated at least one day a year to honor that tradition. While we dated long distance through college we would spend countless hours driving just to see each other for a weekend if lucky. After graduation we moved in together and began the next step in our journey. Finally, on December 17, 2021, Mitchell proposed in front of family and friends at our annual Columbus Zoo lights date. We have been patiently waiting for a year and a half and can’t wait to take the next step in our relationship. On April 1st of 2023, once again surrounded by family and friends, we can’t wait to take the next leap of faith. As always with us, we look forward to seeing everyone there having a fun and exciting time!!
