Nick and I met through one of our dearest SUNY Oswego friends in 2015. We were nothing more than casual acquaintances until we shared a class together in the spring of 2017. That's when our story started. We became fast friends, as if we had known each other for years. It was clear there was more between us the night we played a sweet game of footsie under a table. It was only a matter of time for our feelings to grow, and boy did they!

I graduated first but made frequent visits to see Nick during his senior year. Most of our favorite memories include our friends, who have always been a huge part of our love story. All good things came to an end when Nick graduated and moved back home to Long Island. We spent nine months apart, squeezing in as many long-distance visits as we could manage. Finally, when we couldn't take it any longer, Nick decided to move to Geneva.

His big move coincided with the COVID-19 shutdown. We spent the next six months living together in my parents’ basement. While many people do not remember those days fondly, we actually do. We played, laughed, cried, and went a little crazy together. We knew if we could survive six months stuck in a basement together with nowhere to go, we could survive forever together. However, I did have to wait three more years to get the ring ;)

Nick proposed just the way I always pictured it: We were at our favorite place in Oswego on the shores of Lake Ontario with all of our amazing friends surrounding us. It was perfect, and we're perfect together!
