In 2017, Nigel decided it was time to move out of Pennsylvania and accepted a job in Towson, MD. At the same time, Emily decided to venture out of the Midwest and pursue her PhD in Baltimore, MD. After adjusting to their new homes, the two met by swiping right (thanks, Coffee Meets Bagel!), and they had an instant connection.
Their first date happened in April of 2018 (although Nigel will tell you that their first date should’ve happened in March, but Emily “stood him up”). They went to grab a drink at Bluebird in Hampden, where Emily laughed at all of Nigel’s jokes, and Nigel found Emily’s nervous hair twisting endearing. They spent the whole evening together and at the end shared their first kiss. The rest was history.
In the years they’ve spent together, they’ve moved from Baltimore to Boston, road tripped countless hours to see friends and family, and (arguably most importantly) adopted the best puppy named Gracie. They love trying new restaurants, traveling to new places, and sipping whiskey together.
In May 2023, Nigel and Emily traveled back to Baltimore for Emily to receive her PhD. On an intimate street corner in the place they first called home together, Nigel swung Emily around as he got on his knee, asking her to marry him. In the city that they fell in love in, they said yes to spending the rest of their lives together.
