Things to Do

As residents at St. John's Catholic Newman Center on UIUC's campus, Bethany and Lucas became friends in 2011. After experiencing life separately for 7 more years, they reconnected in late 2018 when Lucas moved to Naperville, IL. Bethany was quick to reach out and re-kindle the friendship (...can you say, stalker?). Soon after, Lucas realized this was something more when Bethany cooked a meal for him. Since December of 2018 to July of 2025, they both have been happily looking forward to ever after.
