Our story began at Mercy College in 2016. John, from New Hyde Park, NY, and Cassidy, from Ardsley, NY, first crossed paths as student athletes juggling sports, classes, and campus life. We ended up sharing a few classes, which is where things really started. What started with a few casual messages turned into long conversations and eventually real life hangouts. After talking and getting to know each other over several months, we officially started dating in December 2017, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. From late night study sessions to building a life together, we’ve been chasing our dreams side by side, and now, they’re all starting to come true. We’re not perfect, but we’re perfect for each other. Through every laugh, challenge, and quiet moment, we’ve built a love that feels like home, and now we get to keep choosing each other every single day.
