Who knew that the quick introduction through mutual friends one February evening would allow for the best years of our lives? Smitten from the beginning, Ella would find any excuse to talk to or hang out with James and those mutual friends, whether it be in Coleman Morse or the stadium. After a few bonfires, lake walks, masses, events, and grotto visits together, it became clear that our days were brighter and better when the other person was around. Turning accidental run-ins into date nights, we fell in love with the intention of bringing the other closer to God. After a wonderfully planned and completely successful surprise proposal at the grotto, we have been on cloud nine in anticipation of spending the rest of our lives together, doing what we set out to do since the very beginning: love one another as Christ has loved us!
