Patrick and Rachel met in July of 2023. From the moment they met, they have barely spent a day apart- thanks only to having to go to work. Their relationship is one full of love, compassion, and support. Despite a very stressful six months filled with medical issues and setbacks, Patrick never once left Rachel’s side being her beacon in the darkness. 

In August of 2024 the two took a much deserved vacation to the Orlando area to visit family and to spend some time in Walt Disney World. On Rachel’s birthday, Patrick asked her to marry him in front of her favorite attraction, the Haunted Mansion. She of course said yes!
