Richard was preparing to graduate and move on to new adventures, while Elizabeth still had college life ahead of her. They agreed friendship was all it could be.

But between late-night Spanish study sessions and nonstop laughter, something more began to grow—even if they both tried to deny it.

Elizabeth realized it first: it was love, just at the wrong time.

She fell first… but don’t worry—with time, he fell harder.

A year apart showed them life was better together. So, they gave it a real chance. A year and a half later, they took the next big leap—moving in together in Chicago.

Since then, they’ve built a life filled with laughter, growth, and love—shared with their two beloved pups. They never imagined that a fleeting college friendship would turn into forever.

Now, they’re beyond excited to start their next chapter and can’t wait to celebrate with their closest friends and family.

Thank you for your love and support—We hope to see you in Chicago come Summer of 2026!
