"He thinks you're cute, come hang out after the game!"

Back in 2020, before everything shut down, Sophia’s roommate, Lauren, sent a Snapchat with Aaron saying, "I think she's cute. Do you think she'll come hang out with us?" After seeing the Chiefs secure the AFC Championship against the Titans, Sophia agreed to meet up with them. The group gathered at The Office (IYKYK) for some games. Lauren and Jacob challenged Sophia and Aaron to a round of beer pong, and to everyone’s surprise, Sophia and Aaron won!

After that night, they occasionally hung out in group settings. It wasn’t until one night at Yard Bar that Sophia finally asked Aaron for his number, but due to bad service, she ended up with his Snapchat instead.

Not long after the Snapchat debacle, Aaron asked Sophia on their first date to Andy’s. If you ask Aaron, their first date was actually Q39 on Valentine's Day.

Then, the world shut down and they spent every day together throughout COVID.

When Aaron graduated in May 2021 their two-year, long distance relationship began. They took many weekend trips between cities and in September 2022, Sophia officially made the move to St. Louis (thanks, CNP!).

One year later, they returned to Kansas City to celebrate Sophia’s birthday and, while having photos taken by their good friend Vince, Aaron popped the question.

Next stop, the wedding!
