We met in the Fall of 2016 and had our first date at a sushi restaurant in Manayunk. Sean will be the first one to tell everyone that Trish was 20 minutes late, but Trish will defend herself by saying she had to take 76 at rush hour to get to this first date. We quickly felt an undeniable connection. The conversation was effortless when we realized how much in common we shared: music, snow sports, our love for travel and the importance of our families. We even came to the conclusion that our paths probably have crossed in the past due to our mutual friends we shared at Sean's alma mater, Drexel University. We often joke about why we couldn't have met earlier in life. Everything happens for a reason. Now almost three years later, we just became homeowners together and are engaged to be married. We cannot wait to spend forever together.
