Rich and Vanessa have known each other since 9th grade; however, their love story didn't begin until a couple of years laters. It wasn't until the 11th grade that Vanessa decided the two would date. Vanessa approached Rich insisting that they should go out, but Rich swore (pretended) he was not interested. It wasn't long before Vanessa wore him down and the two started dating. Since January 27, 2011 the two have been inseparable! Rich and Vanessa enjoyed the second half of their high school years together. After high school graduation, the two went their own ways, attending college at different schools. Throughout college though, Vanessa and Rich spent many weekends exploring each other's campus, meetings new friends and supporting each other's goals and successes. After college graduation, Rich continued his career with Johnson & Johnson where he continues to find overwhelming success and Vanessa began her graduate studies pursuing a doctoral degree in clinical psychology. Along the way Vanessa and Rich have had many exciting adventures such as moving in together, adopting a dog, and traveling all over the world! On December 28, 2018 Rich proposed to Vanessa at the Rockefeller Ice Skating Rink in New York City. Their love story will continue when the two say "I do" on June 26, 2020 at Tribeca Rooftop.
