Let's rewind back to 2014.... this story began at Kutztown University. Both John and Adrianna attended this college. John was a junior and Adrianna was a sophomore. Both of them just so happened to be enrolled in the same Spanish class with Professor Zimmerman during the fall semester.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning, John and Adrianna sat in this class. Adrianna would raise her hand eagerly to share the answer in Spanish to most questions (although with horrible pronunciation). John would participate only when called on (and purposely with horrible pronunciation). This would make Adrianna laugh. Though, John and Adrianna at this point hadn’t talked, Adrianna thought he was funny (and cute).
Fast forward 2 months into the semester, it's another day in class. Adrianna still sits next to her bestfriend (& bridesmaid) Chloe chatting away. John sitting just two rows over.
This day, Professor Zimmerman was tired of the class picking the same partner for every assignment and activity. Yes, that meant Chloe and Adrianna no longer would be partners this time. On this day in class, she decided she is assigning everyone a new partner to work with. She gave everyone a number. Whoever else had your number would be your partner!
Did you guess who got the same number? That's right -- John and Adrianna. Both number 9. The new los compañeros (this means partners, don't worry I google translated).
After that day in class, Adrianna saw John any time she was on campus (and even at parties). John and Adrianna hung out and got to know each other. From then on out, after every Spanish class, they would wait up for one and another and chat walking through campus.
Now flash forward, almost 8 years later, John proposed to Adrianna on 10/15/22 at that very special place (Kutztown University). And no, to this day neither of them can speak Spanish.
The infamous place where John and Adrianna met in Spanish class.
This picture was taken on 10/15/22 - John wanted to propose at this very spot (but you can see why he changed his plan).
