Abby and Ryan met at Bloomfield High School - Go Bengals! We were in marching band together, but really became friends when we had the exact same class schedule our Sophomore year. By the end of our Junior year, this friendship became much more. We spent Senior year as the marching band it-couple and going to prom together.

We went to different schools for college (FDU and Hofstra), so we had to get by on weekend visits, video chats, and weekly homework dates during lockdown. We also started travelling together during the summer to ease the sting of distance.

A few months after graduations, we fulfilled our dream of living together! We learned how to combine all our stuff, and found our decorating style. Ryan worked in the city, and Abby got her Masters. We cooked for each other, shared many tired nights in, and created a lovely life together.
