How it all began
“When that snowstorm hit, I was hoping and wishing her plans would cancel and I’d get to see her at Palmer’s house party.”
— Anthony
“I saw him sitting in the front of the classroom in a green Irish t-shirt, and every time I saw him after that I felt giddy...”

Attempts to skip class.
Mutual NPU friendships.
And the snowstorm of a century.
These are the events that brought two college kids together. We say kids, because that’s what it feels like looking back on that night almost ten years ago, stuck in a snowstorm on New Years Eve. We had class together, mutual friends, and a handful of classic college interactions prior, but that night changed everything for us. We connected, laughed, and nervously blushed our way to a New Years Eve kiss — a kiss that made the entire party pause and give us a round of applause (in a slow clap build we might add) in celebration.
It’s hard to put the ten years that followed into words, because our life together has been filled to the BRIM with some of the best moments this world could ever offer us.
So the rest is history
And we’re just best friends living our best Chicago life, growing together with a shared heart for uplifting others, community, romcoms, Malort, Lake Michigan, and of course, pasta.
