Emma and Patrick met in the summer of 2017 while Patrick was home on leave from the Army. After a week long whirlwind of ice cream dates, long car rides, and romantic dinner dates - that was it. It was love! A long distance year passed quickly (and dragged on forever) filled with facetime dates and falling in love. Almost 8 years later and the best of friends, they are so excited to tie the knot and officially spend the rest of their lives together.
