John and Liz first met in the Starpoint high school musical program in 2014. They quickly found themselves as friends, bonding over "We Are the World" impressions and trips to the zoo. In October of 2015, John asked Liz to be his girlfriend and the rest is history!

The two spent some time at 'medium distance' while John was starting at UB and Liz was finishing high school then spent almost four years as long distance when Liz moved to SUNY Potsdam. During those years, many hours were spent on FaceTime and many miles were put on their cars for drives back and forth to visit.

In 2023, John and Liz moved in together in their apartment in Kenmore. They love spending quality time playing board games, cooking, and making each other laugh. Some of their favorite moments spent together have been on the road as well, where the two have been lucky to share time in places such as Savannah, Montreal, and even Greece!

On their 9 year dating anniversary on October 23, 2024 John proposed in Overwinter Cafe in Williamsville! On their wedding day, John and Liz will have been together for almost 11 years and cannot wait to spend many more together!
