How we met

Katie and Ryan both entered Harvard in the fall of 1996, but lived in different parts of campus and never met their freshman year.  However, as luck would have it, Katie lived below several of Ryan’s future roommates.  Katie and Ryan were introduced the first week of sophomore year and, as it turned out, both majored in biochemistry and shared several courses.  Despite Katie’s best attempts to avoid him, Ryan asked her out on a date and they have been happy together ever since.
