Scott & Diane
aka, Our Story

We met in the fall of '97 as freshmen at Binghamton University, frantically attempting to complete a physics assignment in a friend of a friend's dormroom. Introduced by the infamous Alex Metternich, we bonded over Swedish fish and spilled milk and recountings of each other's ill-fated romantic entanglements over the next couple of years, becoming best friends in the process. It wasn't until our fifth and final year (and two months into our time together as roommates ... oops.) that we finally decided to give it a go, though.

Neither of us has looked back since.

After several discussions, Scott proposed at 3 a.m. on Friday, May 3, 2002, as we finished putting up my senior art show in the Rosefsky Gallery at Bingo U. I accepted, and 4 months later we moved to Chicago together to start a life that has so far proved far richer than either of us could have ever imagined.
