Looking back, Larissa and Jeremy were often close in distance. While Jeremy was studying at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, Larissa was next door at Henry Ford College. After Larissa transferred to Grand Valley State University, she was often going to the same places that Jeremy went to when visiting his sister Jessica there. At one point, they lived just 2 miles apart yet never crossed paths.

Then, on a fateful night in January 2023, Larissa and Jeremy connected on a dating app. They immediately bonded over their mutual love of food, movies, and "Weird Al" Yankovic. Their first date was trivia at a local bar, where they discovered that Jeremy’s assortment of random knowledge and Larissa’s assortment of random knowledge complemented each other well enough to produce a very good assortment of random knowledge. Winning a gift card at that first trivia outing planted a seed of things to come, and trivia has remained a weekly date night ever since.

On a Sunday morning in February 2025, after two years of much laughter and joy, Jeremy came over to Larissa’s apartment before they were headed to get brunch. Larissa should have known something was suspicious when Jeremy wanted to sit down and chat for a few minutes before they were both caffeinated. Spoiler alert for what happened moments later: he got down on one knee, and she said yes!

We feel so lucky to have each other and even luckier to be surrounded by such wonderful family and friends. Thank you for being part of our journey, and we can't wait to celebrate with you!
