We first met in 5th grade at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School. We also attended the same high school at St. Mary Catholic Central. We also both graduated from the University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio. We had known each other for so long, but did not go on our first date until December, 2021. Since that first date we have been inseparable. We have supported each other through our grueling educations, board exams, and many other things over these last few years.

We both received undergraduate degrees from the University of Toledo. Hannah continued at the University of Toledo and received her Doctor of Pharmacy degree in 2022 and John went on to Oakland University’s physical therapy program, where he received his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2024. Despite being in the same cities for most of our lives, it wasn’t until John was living in Auburn Hills, MI for the physical therapy program and Hannah was living in Ann Arbor, MI finishing out her final year rotations for pharmacy school, that we started talking again and had our first date. Despite the distance of being in different cities, we have realized that the timing of everything was perfect. We are so grateful and blessed that everything worked out for us to be together. John proposed on a beach in Grand Haven, Michigan. The lakes in Michigan will always hold a special place in our hearts!
