Ian and Emily met at church in 2014 when Emily's family moved from NY to PA. They knew of each other, but didn't become close friends until 2022 when a group of friends would hangout at an ice cream shop called Amy's Frosty Freeze after youth group. Ian always had an eye for Emily since the day he saw her. However, Emily never noticed him.

In 2023, Emily made plans to move to Indiana for an internship opportunity. When Ian heard of this, he decided to shoot his shot. He asked her out on November 11th, 2023. After hanging out with friends, Ian mustered up the courage to ask her out for coffee.

They met up at the Kind Café that weekend. They left the first date and decided to take time to decide if it would be worth dating long-distance or not. While Emily stayed home to ponder, Ian traveled to Italy with his family for 10 days. When Ian returned, they reconvened for a second date on November 28th, 2024, and both had decided to move forward with the relationship. That same night, Ian asked Emily's father for permission to date his daughter.

A month and a half later, Emily left to move out to Lafayette, Indiana for the next year. They stayed long-distance until June 28th, 2024, when Ian moved out to also take an internship in Lafayette, Indiana. They were later engaged on July 31st, 2024.

The future Bride and Groom would love your prayers and support as they make plans to be married on March 15th, 2025.
