Sophia & Richard met in December of 2018, and instantly bonded over the best chocolate milk in the world: Kroger brand chocolate milk. On New Years Eve they went to Chilli's for their first actual date because everywhere else was full and he asked her to be his girlfriend, and she said yes! After UT's winter break was done they were able to see each other again since he lived in Dayton, and she in Toledo. They started taking a class together and in turn spending any extra time they had together!

During their years at school they would meet each others families and friends, and figure out that they were perfect for each other.

They would both make trips during summer breaks, and any spare weekends to either come to Toledo and Dayton and spend time together.

On their 3rd anniversary, December 31, 2021, Richard took Sophia to Carillon Historical Park (which was where their first date in Dayton was) and proposed in front of the bell tower right as the bells rang in the half hour!
