Story

Amy and Jonathan met in New York City in 2013. Jonathan moved to the University of Chicago in summer 2014, and Amy joined him in Chicago the following year.

Amy and Jonathan's relationship initially blossomed due to their shared intellectual interests and compatible personalities. Over the years, they have learned to love (or at least indulge) each other's hobbies and interests - in Amy's case, that meant watching English soccer and listening to house music, and for Jonathan, that meant exploring new places (and restaurants!). Amy and Jonathan have been fortunate to be able to travel together to Europe and Asia, and they look forward to more traveling and exploring together.

In July 2017, while they were kayaking on Rainy Lake near the Canada-Minnesota border, Jonathan surprised Amy with an engagement ring. We can't wait to start our married life together with your support!
