How it all began...
We met on the very first day of our freshman year at Tufts University🐘. Walker came to Sophia's dorm room to say hi to his high school friend from California, who happened to be her new roommate. We had a brief conversation and went our separate ways. Shortly after Walker asked Sophia on a date, but she wasn't quite ready.
One memorable evening, Sophia was singing on stage 🎤 having a fun night with a few girlfriends and Walker and friends came into the bar. We ended up talking all night. Shortly after, Walker surprised Sophia by asking her out on our first official date on Valentine’s Day 2014 at Grafton St. restaurant in Harvard Square. We spent the whole night talking about our interests, family and what we hoped our futures would hold. The rest is history.
It took almost 4 years for us to truly cross paths again in our psychology class and then soon after in a dance group that Sophia decided to join last minute. Walker’s rugby team had been a part of this collective for years, but Sophia's self-proclaimed two-left-feet were just looking for a new experience to round out her senior year 💃🏻. Sure enough, as the dance progressed towards the final show we made a last minute partner swap and wound up together, dancing to a Beyonce song. One thing led to another and we started to see each other more, running into each other in the campus center and meeting up at the local bar, which happened to have a fantastic rock cover band.
Since then we have shared 5 apartments, 2 cities, many travels and added sweet Kaia to the pack 🐾.
6 years after we started dating we embarked on a trip to Cambodia and Vietnam. After a long day of exploring temples, Sophia couldn’t wait to get back to the hotel and kick up her feet. Walker had something different in mind. At Ta Keo temple in Angkor Wat he popped down on one knee, completely surprising Sophia in pulling off the most beautiful engagement.
We can’t wait to get married with all of our people by our side.
