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 online through Eastern University. He will be completing this program in the summer of 2025. Rose will be graduating with a nursing degree in May of 2025. Her goal is to work in an intensive care unit after graduating. We enjoy cooking together, walking our dog Franklin, trying new coffee shops and restaurants, and exploring local attractions. 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.
