Will and Maria were both trying to survive COVID medical school when they found themselves on a recruitment Zoom call for their school, University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine. Maria thought, "Wow, this student is so cute!" when she saw Will on the call. At the same time, Will texted their mutual friend "Maria Jones... my future wife."

From there, the rest is history. They spent two years of long distance, with hours on FaceTime and late night study sessions, while Maria panicked about being a new resident and Will spent long hours studying for exams -- always building each other up and supporting each other. Endless flight credits and travel miles were spent, but they knew it was worth it. From baseball games, to their annual Winter trip, to their yearly musical attendance, these two always made the most of their time together.

On the day of Will's medical school graduation, just three hours before he walked across the stage, he surprised Maria with the dream proposal at the site of their first date in Maine. Of course if was a resounding "Yes!" and the celebration continued all the way down to Delaware where the two are both finally working at the same hospital in the same city preparing for their everlasting forever!
