our love story

Scot and Emily’s love story began in their sophomore year of high school. Like any typical high school relationship, it began with a text- one that Scot’s friends practically forced him to send. The following weekend, Scot and Emily attended the Friday night football game, and the rest is history…

On their first date, Scot and Emily went to Red Robin. Emily’s parents sat only a few tables away because they were 15 and obviously too young to drive at the time. Scot and Emily officially started dating on November 13th, 2010. Fast forward to 10 years later, Scot proposed, and Emily said YES to marrying her high school sweetheart on November 13th, 2020. 

Following high school, Scot and Emily on to college together at Penn State, though neither will take credit for “who followed who” … Scot loved the Penn State football games, while Emily loved tailgating and trips to the creamery. But together, they enjoyed spending time with friends, the old and the new, and made a lot of memories there. Upon graduation, Scot and Emily decided they we not ready to leave Happy Valley and chose to pursue their master’s degrees in their respective fields. 

As if grad school was not stressful enough, Scot and Emily decided to start a little family together by rescuing their sweet pup, Sadie! After Emily spent years begging Scot to get a puppy, he took one look at Sadie and fell completely in love. Even though Sadie is an absolute princess and automatically assumes there is something for her in every TJ Maxx bag brought through the door… she is the BEST decision they had ever made together. Sadie has brought so much love and incredible joy to their lives. 

One year ago, in the middle of the pandemic, Scot and Emily bought house together in Newtown, PA. Even after 10 years of being together, Scot and Emily found out that there was still a LOT to learn about one another once they started living together – the good, the bad, and the ugly. But all in all, Scot and Emily love being roommates and live for nights filled with wine, Schitt’s Creek, and far too competitive games of Connect Four. 

On November 13th, 2020, Scot finally asked Emily to marry him! Scot arranged a surprise proposal, with the help of family and friends, despite knowing how Emily had responded to surprises in the past. It was just before sunset when Scot brought Emily to Tyler Gardens. As they walked down the steps to the garden, “MARRY ME” was spelled out in roses. Scot got down on one knee and asked his high school sweetheart to spend the rest of his life with him! It was a perfect moment, until the security guard came down and started yelling at them for trespassing! That night, Scot and Emily laughed and cried, took pictures, and celebrated together with close family and friends. 

Scot and Emily have the LONGEST love story with 10 years worth of memories, love, friendship, and growing up together. They look forward to tying the knot and celebrating their love with the family and friends whom have played an integral part in their relationship over the past 10 years!
