Our Wedding

It all started one night in Suites Hall when Elizabeth had been dragged out by her friends and Dean was hosting a party. He approached her and they began talking. He even let her choose the music! Their connection blossomed from there as they got to know each other and had their first date at the lovely Chipotle!   Their connection grew as they studied abroad, Dean in London, England, and Elizabeth in Florence, Italy. They made sure to visit each other, despite Dean's busy schedule as an international collegiate athlete :). Elizabeth returned to Providence for the spring 2020 semester, and Dean went back to London. For their first anniversary, Elizabeth visited Dean in London in March, where he told her about some crazy new virus and that he would be home in the States within 2 weeks. She told him he had lost his mind, and she was wrong.   They navigated their senior year together and each began their graduate studies, Elizabeth at Boston College and Dean at Clemson University. Though long distance was hard, it was all worth it when they got their first apartment together in Clemson after Elizabeth finished her master's degree. Since then, they have been enjoying their time together, taking trips and spending quality time together.   And then for their sixth anniversary, Dean mentioned that he had planned a nice hotel stay, dinner, and some drinks. That's when Elizabeth's wheels started turning, and she knew something was up, though according to Dean, nothing was actually planned yet. After some major digging around to her friends and family, Elizabeth could not decide if she was going crazy, or if Dean was going to finally pop the question. He left her alone all day for her mind to run in circles and then, they were off. Thankfully, she had not gone crazy, and Dean had planned a beautiful proposal, surprising her with their families. They are so excited to spend the rest of their lives together and celebrate with their friends and family!
