21 Days To Go!

Our Story

Our journey began in 2015 amidst the bustling campus life at Syracuse University. Sara, a freshman, crossed paths with Mark, a sophomore, in a twist of fate when Mark found himself tackling homework for a mutual friend of Sara's (aka, Mark hustling from the get-go).


Mark's spontaneous invitation to his South Campus apartment, offering a laid-back evening of movies and a dinner that she never ended up getting, struck a chord with Sara, capturing her interest.


Through shared movie marathons and thoughtful gestures like Sara's insomnia cookie deliveries, their connection deepened until, on September 19th of that year, Mark finally musterd up the courage to ask Sara to be his girlfriend, marking the beginning of their inseparable bond.


We can't wait to celebrate May 10th with all of you, and establish this date as our new "forever anniversary."
