Rose and Patrick met at St. Louis University in the fall of 2023. During his time at SLU, Patrick ran on the SLU cross country and track team. He graduated in May of 2024 with a finance degree. He is currently completing a master's in business administration in organizational leadership and data analytics online through Eastern University. He will be completing this program in the summer of 2025. Rose graduated from SLU with a nursing degree in May. She accepted a job offer for a trauma burn stepdown unit at the Medical University of South Carolina. Rose and Patrick will be moving to Charleston, South Carolina after the wedding and we could not be more excited. We enjoy cooking together, going to Mass on Sunday together, walking our dog Franklin, trying new coffee shops and restaurants, and exploring local attractions. We are looking forward to exploring all of the opportunities in our new home. One of our favorite places in St. Louis is the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Patrick proposed to Rose at the gardens in November, and we are excited to have our reception in this special place. We are also excited to be getting married at the church on SLU's campus and building the foundation for our marriage through faith.
