How did you first meet?

❤️Olivia: We met for the first time at the firehouse.

❤️Carson: At the firehouse.

How long have you been together?

❤️Olivia: We’ve been together going on 2 years in June.

❤️Carson: Almost 2 years come June.

What is one word that best describes your relationship?

❤️Olivia: Real

❤️Carson: Bonded

When did you know that they were “the one”?

❤️Olivia: I knew he was the one when we went on a hike that was supposed to take only an hour or so and it ended up being 5 hours of us just talking about everything under the sun.

❤️Carson: The winter we got engaged. There was 4 feet of snow in the driveway, and Olivia needed to get home. Mind you it was like 2am. I had just been at the station for 3 days straight working through the storm. It hit me when I was absolutely exhausted yet something compelled me to want to drop everything including how tired I was and get up and do it for her. I had then realized I would do anything for her because I fell in love.

What are you looking forward to in the future?

❤️Olivia: I just can’t wait to start a family with him and go through life together. I can’t wait to look back on our lives together when we are old and grey and think “yeah we did all that”.

❤️Carson: Growing old together, making tons of memories, seeing the world together, having our own family.

How did you first meet?

❤️Ashlea- We first met in 2005, he was 15 and I was 17. At the time he was my younger brother's annoying best friend. We talked when we had to but for the most part, he was just a permanent fixture that was around my brother. I moved to CT in 2017 and when I went back to Florida to visit family my brother let us stay at his house. Of course, he was living with David and while I was there we started talking and never stopped.

❤️David- Unsure of the exact timing. She is my best friend, of 17 years, older sister. We saw each other a lot but never really talked until 5 years ago.

How long have you been together?

❤️❤️A little over 4 years. Got engaged on our 4 year dating anniversary.

What is one word that best describes your relationship?

❤️Ashlea- Interesting

❤️David- Devotion

When did you know that they were “the one”?

❤️Ashlea- When he decided to uproot his entire life in Florida in the middle of the pandemic (June 2020) just to be with me in Connecticut.

❤️David- 5 years ago, my best friend had his family stay with us while on vacation. I had known his sister for years but never really talked to her. After a few days of them visiting we decided to all hang out by my pool with my best friend and his family as well as his girlfriend. I started to realize that night that she wasn't just my friend’s older sister and I wanted to get closer to her.

What are you looking forward to in the future?

❤️Ashlea- Growing older and experiencing all these new adventures with my best friend, I can’t wait to marry him!

❤️David - To building a stronger relationship with my future wife!

How did we first meet?

❤️❤️Through a mutual acquaintance at the time. We all met for dinner at Classic Pizza and then Jon and I started talking and hanging out after that.

How long have you been together?

❤️❤️Officially together for 4 years but on again/off again for about 11 years. We share a 10-year-old son and Rebecca has a 15-year-old son.

What is one word that best describes your relationship?

❤️❤️Complete. Because separately we are very opposite. Jon is quiet, laid back, and a bit of a ballbuster. Becca is more spontaneous, creative, and a bit hyper. Together we complement each other, helping and supporting each other in the areas where the other is stronger.

When did you know that they were “the one”?

❤️Jon: She is always there supporting me. No matter what, the good, the bad, the ugly. She is there.

❤️Becca: I knew Jon was the one when he didn’t just promise things, he kept those promises. When people ask how many kids we have and he says 2 (our oldest is from a previous relationship) And when he told me I could have all the corgis I wanted.

What are you looking forward to in the future?

❤️Watching our kids grow and make their own lives and then continuing with new and exciting adventures. We love to travel together.

How did you first meet?

❤️❤️We met at the Longwood Medical food court in Boston MA. Chris was an EMT at the time and I was working in IT at Beth Israel. He came over and just started chatting me up. We exchanged phone numbers and after a couple months of texting we decided to actually go on our first date and now here we are!

How long have you been together?

❤️❤️We are going on 11 years together this July. We kind of did it backwards, Chris already had a 2 year old son, Ryan, when I met him - then 3 years later we had our daughter Olivia. So we put getting married on the back burner while we focused on raising our kids and our careers. Now that things are more settled and the kids are a bit older we are beyond excited to make everything official.

What is one word that best describes your relationship?

❤️Onye - Constant. No matter what I know I can count on Chris to be there me and our kids. I can rely on him for anything and know he would do anything for us.

❤️Chris - Unique. We have been through a lot of ups and downs over the years and here we are still together and in love.

When did you know that they were “the one”?

❤️ Onye- Chris can make me laugh and smile like nobody else. We went to karaoke bar for his birthday a few days after our first date and he was up there singing like a lunatic, I don’t know, something about that moment made me just think yep that singing idiot is my person.

❤️Chris - When I saw Onye reading to my son. She would read to him every night and just seeing her step into a role no one asked her to was something else. I knew she was it after that.

What are you looking forward to in the future?

❤️❤️We are looking forward to just being together and seeing where life takes us. Seeing our kids grow up and eventually getting to travel around more.
