This is the heartwarming love story of Jared and Hannah, a couple whose journey began in college as Resident Assistants. Their connection blossomed into a deep and lasting love, leading them to start an incredible adventure together.

When the opportunity to study abroad in Florence, Italy arose, Hannah recognized Jared's dream of going. With determination, she convinced him to join her, and their shared exploration of Europe commenced. They traversed the charming streets of Amsterdam, immersed themselves in the vibrant culture of London, and discovered the serene beauty of Lake Como. Amidst the bustling atmosphere of a small bakery in Rome, Italy, in February 2019, Jared's nerves got the best of him as he fidgeted over their breakfast and finally mustered the courage to ask Hannah if she would be his girlfriend.

Returning to school for their senior year, they eagerly anticipated their final chapter, but fate had other plans. The unforeseen arrival of a global pandemic disrupted their lives, causing their university to shut down. Determined to make the most of their time apart, Jared and Hannah forged separate paths, searching for work in their separate states of CT and ME - staying connected through Facetime calls and long road trips to visit each other.

After a year apart, Jared and Hannah finally found themselves together again. They took a leap of faith and bought a house in North Haven, CT. They poured their hearts into updating and remodeling, making their house a home, filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities.

To complete their home, they welcomed a furry bundle of joy—a puppy they named Pippi. She captured their hearts and became an integral part of their love story, filling their days with warmth and happiness. They spend most of their time snuggled on the couch, playing in their backyard and doing their best to muffle out the sound of squeaky toys during movie nights.

Graduation day arrived, symbolizing not only the culmination of their academic journey but also the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. As they venture into their professional lives, Jared and Hannah support one another, celebrating their achievements and providing solace during challenging times.

On a perfect July day, under the clear blue sky, Jared got down on one knee and asked Hannah to be his partner for life. It was a moment that took her breath away, and tears of joy streamed down her face as she said "yes."

Hannah couldn't help but notice the familiar flutter in his voice and the endearing way he stumbled over his words, a déjà vu of the nerves she had witnessed when he asked her to be his girlfriend while they were abroad.

They celebrated their engagement by sharing stories and laughter with family and friends, reminiscing about the countless memories that Hannah had created in Waterville Valley as a child. It was a testament to the depth of their love that Jared had chosen such a meaningful place to mark this important milestone.
