Weddings
Marriage: Anna R. McKenney ’13 and Shawn W. McKenney
"Long-distance relationships are tough, but they can be worth it. They can work out. Initially, we weren’t going to date because I was going to college, but it ended up working out."
Engagement: Thomas C. Wilhoit ’13 and Jordan A. Reddout ’10
I think it was when we first traveled alone together—we went to St. Augustine, Fla., for a weekend and explored the town. It’s nice to have someone who wants to visit 17th-century forts with you.
Engagement: Anthony J. Staccone ’13 and Anika R. Petach ’13
We once decided to bike down the entirety of Loch Ness in one day. It turned into a torrential downpour, with an inch of water covering the road, but we still made it!
Marriage: František Bútora ’13 and Nikoleta “Nika” Bútorová
František secretly flew back to Slovakia for spring break of sophomore year, arriving on a Sunday. He surprised her at the church in the small valley that had special significance for them.
Engagement: Abigail E. Hook ’13 and Andrew M. Garbarino ’13
First date, at Russell House on March 8, 2011. Andrew’s fellow Math CA was the waiter and brought them free carrot cake.
Marriage: Lauren E. Faraino ’13 and Kleber P. DeSouza
Kleber was bartending at Grafton Street, and I was a regular there, I guess, and we just met then. So romantic. Should we make up a really romantic story?
Engagement: Esther S. Wu ’13 and Matthew G. Tung ’12
We spend a lot of time together. We’re usually deep in discussion or lost in thought. We also almost always know where the other person is and what they’re up to.
Engagement: Joshua G. Wilson ’13 and Sorrel L. Nielsen ’14
A couple days ago, I invited Sorrel to take a walk with me down to the Radcliffe Sunken Garden. I said I needed to take a phone call. Then I took the ring out of my pocket. I came back and held her hand.
Engagement: Allie K. Wunderlich ’13 and David L. Gray
After knowing me for three days, he told me I would make a great wife and mother someday. It wasn’t creepy; it was...a really nice compliment.
Engagement: Nicholas B. Waldo ’13 and Hannah M. Hostetler
In high school in Alaska, we lived 90 miles apart. The only way to see each other was by flying or ferrying. But you should never write anything off because it seems like a long shot.
'The End of Courtship' at Harvard?
In 2013, you will probably have a lot of questions about love. These should be five of them: 1. If Ivy Leaguers are refuting The End of Courtship, are they endorsing The End of Empircal Reasoning? 2. Which came first: The End of Courtship, or The End of Men? 3. Was The End of Men before The End of Sex? 4. Would you rather The End of Sex With Men before Courtship, or The End of Courtship with Men before Sex? 5. Is it a coincidence that, as we are battered with The Ends of Everything Sexy, we can turn manically and trustingly to The Beginning of Second Season of "Girls"?
