Calista and I’s story begins in the fall of 2016. My roommates & I decided to have a party one night, and by luck, fate, divine intervention…whatever it was, Calista walked through the door of 502 Palmerton, along with her 5 roommates. I was enamored with Calista right away and we quickly started spending more time together. By the end of the 2016 fall semester, we were going to gym together, studying together, grocery shopping together, and loved every minute of it. By the end of the school year, we had met each others’ families, and were planning vacations together. By this point, we were completely in love with one another. We graduated, got jobs, then struggled with long distance, careers, personal tragedies, and ultimately lost sight of the most important thing to them: each other. After about a year apart, we were lucky enough to be in the same spot, longing to be back together. Fast forward a few years, we have bought a house outside of Pittsburgh, been raising a little hellion of a dog, Banks, and have both been trying to process and work through grief from the loss of Calista’s amazing father. We are both incredibly excited to get married, and feel like we are finally living out a dream that has been 8+ years in the making. Thank you for being a part of our story. Love, Jimmy & Calista
