How the Tide Brought Us Together

Kevin and Mary met at Shepherd University, back when life revolved around campus events and nights out at Altos. They became fast friends through school traditions, shared meals at Ram's Den, and countless evenings at the TKE house. Those years were filled with lots of laughter, unforgettable memories, and the kind of friendship that felt like it would last a lifetime. For a while, that’s exactly what it was, just best friends. But one night, after Kevin won Mary several stuffed animals from the claw machine at Town Run, something shifted. From that moment on, they began writing the rest of their love story together. Now, almost ten years later, they’re still best friends, still laughing, and ready to say “I do.”
