2018

Boston, MA

After being elected to the same student government position (yes, they are aware how very cool that is), Ian and Rachel started working together.

They were trying to keep things business casual, but they could both tell that there was something between them. One night in October 2018, they went on a walk in Beacon Hill, a beautiful neighborhood near campus. While wandering, they planned their very first date — the Winnie the Pooh exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts.

From that point forward, they were basically inseparable.

Ian and Rachel are ripped apart!

Chicago, IL & New York, NY

Ian get’s his dream job in New York City and finds a place in Brooklyn with a friend from Emerson. His apartment is completely empty when Rachel comes to visit in December (he literally had no living room furniture). Rachel did her best to rep Chicago.
