Pat and Eliza met at Syracuse University during Halloween weekend of 2012. Eliza was invited to a small hangout at Pat's apartment by a mutual friend. When she arrived, the mutual friend had already left, but Pat graciously let the then-stranger in anyway (not that they encourage anyone to let costumed strangers into their homes). It was friendship at first sight! Pat and Eliza went on to spend nearly every weekend together throughout their college years, and continued to find time for each other's company after that.

It took the two a long time to realize what friends and family saw instantly. In 2016 at one of their favorite places to be, a concert, Pat and Eliza decided to make it official.

Through more than a decade of friendship and eight years of love, Pat and Eliza can't wait to share this special day with those they love most (besides each other)!
