Maria & Davis' Love Story

Our story is not your traditional love story. Davis and I went on our first date and 4 days later he moved to Michigan. We instantly clicked and decided to try to make long-distance work. It has had its challenges but I'm SO glad we decided to give it a shot. Our relationship has been filled with FaceTime calls, watching TV shows together on hyperbeam (ifykyk), mailing letters, countless flights to see each other on breaks, and the most amazing summers getting to be a "normal" couple. Davis is funny, outgoing, and thoughtful. He is truly my best friend and I can't imagine my life without his love and support!

- Maria

Maria is everything I could ever ask for. She is funny, goofy, empathetic, incredibly smart and so much more. After our first date, I knew we had to try and make long distance work. I'll admit, I was hesitant at first because of all the "horror" stories I had heard about long-distance relationships. But I knew at the time it was now or never, and I'm happy I chose to jump off the deep end and go straight to long distance with Maria. These past few years have been the best, and I'm so grateful to have Maria in my life. I'm so excited to continue to pour our love onto each other as we move to our next step of life together.
