Alumni Couples

 

 

 

 

December 1985
Leslie and Laura Michulka Penney, both '89
"I asked Laura to go to the SUB and she said no, multiple times. She said I was a dweeb with funny hair. She later said yes, funny hair and all. The rest, as they say, is history. Other stuff happened in between. We just celebrated 24 years of marriage."
August 2011
Gus '14 and Hillary Richard Crimm '15
"Gus sat in front of me in a history class. Gus would wear a baseball cap to class every day and would accidentally leave it underneath his desk. I would grab it for him and give it back. We eventually struck up a conversation and the rest is history."
March 2007
Matthew '07 and Amanda Figueroa Anthony '10
"We met at Destination:Service and once we came back we took two long walks around the baseball and soccer fields where we really got to know each other. It took me seven years after our first date at Wildfire in Georgetown to ask her to marry me, but now we have been husband and wife for almost two years now."
