Patrick & Emily both attended West Chester University where they met in the spring of 2019 through a mutual friend. Patrick proceeded to crash Emily's friend Maegen's 21st birthday and then quickly asked Emily on their first date at Gemelli, a gelato shop in West Chester. Patrick asked Emily to be his girlfriend in May of 2019. While at West Chester Patrick & Emily enjoyed dates consisting of finding the best restaurants, dollar Coors Lights at Jake's Bar and late night ice cream dates. In the following years, Patrick declared himself the DPT of fun as Emily pursued her Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy (DPT). They found their love of going to the beach, skiing and indulging on fancy weekend trips. The most exciting of these trips being August 3, 2024, when Patrick proposed to Emily in St. Michaels, MD at the Inn at Perry Cabin. Patrick & Emily cannot wait to celebrate with all of their closest friends and family on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, somewhere that holds a special place in their hearts.
