Jonathan and Emily met in the summer of 2014 at Rutgers University, during a mutual friends birthday party where the two were introduced. Jonathan recognized Emily from the previous year, but the two were never formally introduced until that night. After a long night of drinking, eating french fry's and hanging with friends, the two began talking and connecting all the way through their senior year of college, where they began dating and have been together ever since. Not even three years of graduate school and a two hour commute from New York City to Stratford, New Jersey could keep these two love birds apart. On November 11th, 2018 Jonathan asked Emily to marry him in front of both of their families, in the heart of New York City, Central Park.
