Alaina writes:  "Richard and I met in the spring of 2004, during our freshman year at Virginia Tech. You might be expecting to hear that we met at a football game or on spring break. Rather, both being engineering majors, we met in Physics class. No, it wasn't Chemistry class…. Believe it or not - we've heard that one a few times before. In class, we sat with a mutual friend and met through him. Strangely enough, it turned out that we lived only a few floors away in the same dorm. Over the next six and a half years, our relationship has only grown stronger. Needless to say, we are extremely excited to celebrate our marriage next May at Hollin Hall with the company of our friends and family."
