Every pair has a unique story. Read on to find out more about each of these couples who’ve found true love at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ State!<\/p>\n Paola\u00a0Reveco ’03, ’08 MS<\/strong> and Oscar Garcia ’06\u00a0<\/strong>met in the Fall of 2001. “He was pledging Lamba Sigma Upsilon, and I was pledging the sister sorority, Mu Sigma Upsilon. We became fast friends and began dating April 2002. We were married in 2007 and have been inseparable ever since,” says\u00a0Reveco.<\/p>\n Kelly Sheehan O’Melia ’99<\/strong> and Brendan O’Melia ’00<\/strong> were Broadcasting majors at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ State when they met. The couple shares a classic love story – they met\u00a0at the Dumont Television Studio and quickly became best friends. The couple even had their first kiss in the Amphitheater on campus. The rest, as they say, is history!<\/p>\n Daniela\u00a0Aghadjanian ’09<\/strong> and Jonathan Velez ’08<\/strong>\u00a0met during 2007 when Daniela tried to help a peer resurrect a Greek organization. Jonathan was the expansion chair of the Greek Council and they had a meeting one evening in January. After a few months of getting to know each other, Daniela and Jonathan started dating. Daniela was a peer leader that summer and they were able to spend many evenings getting to know each other. A year later, Jonathan proposed knowing that they would have a long engagement with finishing college. On April 1, 2017, after relocating to FL for work, Daniela and Jonathan got married with many of their Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ State friends by their side.<\/p>\n Cassie Nahrebne Della Pesca ’07 <\/strong>and\u00a0John Della Pesca ’07<\/strong>\u00a0met while attending a Coaching Basketball course. “We ended up choosing the same book to do our research project. The book was John Wooden<\/em>, which so happens to still be one our favorite books and a table name at our wedding,” says Casse. “However, you can also say that we met through athletics. Both being collegiate athletes, John played lacrosse, and I would work the games as a ball girl. I played soccer and we would attend each other games, and had a lot of the same friends.”<\/p>\n Are you a sweetheart couple?
