“Incredibly Classy”
We met our first day of freshman year at Johns Hopkins. Through bonding over beer pong, late night Subway runs, video games, and countless other activities, we quickly became best friends and remained so all the way to senior year. It wasn't until then that we realized we wanted to be more than friends. We’d been through so much together and knew almost everything about one another. We went on our first date to the National Zoo in Washington D.C. and a few weeks later, we decided to be an official couple!
After graduation, I got a job in Harrisonburg, Virginia while Patrick started work in Clifton, New Jersey. Luckily, Patrick was happy to make the long drive every few weeks to visit me. Two years later, I found an incredible job opportunity that would land me near Patrick, so we got our first apartment together!
After spending some time living together, Patrick knew it was time to take the next step and propose. He managed to lure me to Brooklyn. While “waiting for friends” under the Brooklyn Bridge, Patrick pointed in the distance, claiming he saw them coming. I turned around to look and didn't see them, so I turned back around only to find Patrick on one knee with a ring in hand.
