Q + A

Marissa and Connor met while attending paramedic school together in Hartford, CT. They quickly became friends and would frequently study together after classes. As their friendship grew into more, they realized how much they had in common. They bonded over life, food, and music. They began dating and soon realized they were falling in love. They became an official couple at a wedding they attended together, but decided not to tell their classmates to avoid drama. They believed it was a secret only they knew. It was not. The life they began building together was more than they could ever imagine. They adopted 2 cats, Monty and Maggie. They bought a house together in Glastonbury, CT. In May of 2023, Connor took Marissa on a trip to Acadia, ME where he proposed while looking out at one of the most breathtaking views they had ever seen together. Fortunately, the ring made it on Marissa's finger after a brief scary moment of almost dropping it off the cliff. She said yes!
