Victoria and Will met at a mutual friend’s birthday party as high school sophomores. Going to rival schools, it took some time for them to connect (and about 8 inches less of Will’s hair). Luckily, they both did cross country and track and eventually Will (and his fresh new haircut) caught her eye. They started officially dating their junior year and decided to try going long distance when they set off for different colleges (Ohio and Hawai’i > Philadelphia). They toughed out four years of long, glitchy Skype calls and short visits over school breaks. After college, they lived in the city of brotherly love for a year before traveling to Southeast Asia and living in Chile. Currently, Victoria and Will are both graduate students at the University of Maryland, where they are excited to start their biggest adventure yet - marriage!
