"I met Patrick in my Biology class at Washington State University. He was the last person to walk into the classroom, and our eyes met. He was handsome—so handsome, I texted my tried and true Maid of Honor, Eliza:

'There's only one cute guy in this class, and I'm pretty sure he saw me.'

Eliza responded, 'Well!? Take your shot!!'

During the next class period, he moved to the table behind me (no coincidence). That Friday, I invited him for coffee at the campus cafe. He said yes. His eyes sparkled as he told me about his family, his friends, and his hobbies. I was moved by his kindness. For us, it really was love at first site.

Patrick and I both continue our studies at Washington State University. I graduate in May 2025 with my Bachelor's in Science with plans to enter dental school. Patrick is currently pursuing his journey in physical therapy. We're not sure where life will take us, but we are excited and, most importantly, dedicated to doing it together."

"I met Elizabeth in Bio class at WSU Tri the month after transferring there. On the first day of classes, I arrived early and chose a random seat, waiting for class to start. That's when she walked in; she truly caught my eye with her dark hair and cute outfit. Her beauty to me was apparent across the classroom.

The next day, I got to class purposefully later so that I could sit close to her and muster up the courage to ask her out on a date or what her name was. She beat me to the punch and asked me for a drink at the campus coffee shop. Since then, I knew she was special, and as I grew to know her, I knew she was the one".
