John and Sarah met in 2015 as 1Ls at Villanova Law School. (Reasonable minds differ on whether they met first in the library or as opponents on the beer pong table at the first law school party).
After the last exam of first semester, John asked Sarah to the movies (not a date). Two weeks later, John asked Sarah on their first date to the Philadelphia Art Museum.
Sarah brought John home a month later to meet the family and the rest is history. With Chloe the pug's blessing, John proposed on a weekend trip to Rhode Island in August 2019.
