Our Love Story

We narrowly missed meeting each other four years ago. We briefly overlapped in Charleston when Patrick was in nuclear power school for submarines, and I was on a medical rotation.

Our story didn’t begin, though, until mutual friends introduced us — based on our strong Catholic backgrounds — on a night out in downtown Charleston.

When Patrick asked me out, he told me he’d be downtown for Adoration and invited me to join him for a drink afterward (since he remembered from our brief encounter that I love downtown Charleston).

He didn’t know I already planned to be at Adoration that Wednesday, so we decided to go together! God’s timing is truly amazing since somehow we managed to miss each other the previous several weeks at Adoration.

After going to Adoration together at the gorgeous cathedral and hours of talking at a charming speakeasy, something very special sparked. Little did I know that Patrick would propose to me in the beautiful courtyard outside that very same cathedral. And yes… we did go to Adoration after that, too :)
