Jennifer (Rohde) Shuey '11 and Neil Shuey '12
Jennifer shared her love story with us:
"Neil and I met during his first weekend of school. I was on the Pulse e-board, so my best friend (who'd later serve as maid of honor) and I went around to the freshman dorms to recruit people to our movie. After about the one-hundredth room we stopped by, we landed at the room that Neil was in. We talked to them and Neil sat there very quietly barely acknowledging us, which I found out later was because I kind of scared him with my loud, outgoing personality. Throughout his freshman year his friends would drag him to our events and we would talk until he finally joined. We would get dinner together every week after meetings as part of a group of members. At our spring concert that year Neil had the top of his finger badly cut and we got to spend time alone for the first time. When school started again him and I hung out a lot more - almost every day. Then after thirteen months of flirting he asked me out. We dated for about eighteen months when he proposed on April 9th - the day of the spring formal. Since I was SGB secretary we were there early for set up. Brother James and most of the student services staff were some of the first people on campus to know! I went to medical school after graduating and we planned our wedding over Skype with a lot of help from our friends and families. On August 26, 2012 we were married and moved to Dominica for a while."
Congratulations Jennifer and Neil! We wish you many, many years of happiness!
