VENDORS

Megan and John met at UPMC Shadyside Hospital, where she started as a new nurse, and he was a Patient Care Technician. They worked closely together, being each other’s go-to for favors and tasks. Admittedly, John was Megan’s favorite PCT, and of course, Megan was John’s favorite nurse. A shared passion for their work grew their mutual bond and respect.
They were close friends to start, and were ADAMANT to everyone around them that they were JUST friends. The spark between them only grew as Megan rescued John in the middle of the night when he ran out of gas, and John was Megan’s emergency mouse wrangler when she spotted one in her apartment. Five months after meeting, it was a surprise to no one when they finally went on a date.
The day of their first date, John and Megan BOTH had Hinge dates planned with other people. As fate would have it, their plans fell through. John shot Megan a text, asking her plans for the night, and Megan quickly agreed to dinner with him. This date served as a catalyst for what has blossomed today.
They quickly integrated their lives, meeting friends and family, and officially became a couple on April 17, 2020. Amid the COVID pandemic, they made the most of their time together with at-home date nights: solving puzzles, cooking new recipes, building blanket forts. Sharing the challenges of being frontline workers in the height of COVID allowed for their new relationship to grow.
A year later, John’s acceptance to medical school led them to a new adventure in Horseheads, NY. Their relationship embraced a new milestone, living together. Megan left Pittsburgh for the first time, and they tackled the homesick feeling together. While John dove into the rigors of medical school, Megan embraced her new role as an ICU nurse.
Two years later, they moved to Rochester, NY for John’s continued studies. Along the way, their family grew with the adoption of their dog, Rooney. Becoming dog parents was the perfect addition to their love story, and it doesn't hurt that Rooney is the undisputed cutest boy ever. No, really, follow on insta @rooneytunes17 (shameless plug).
With the help of Megan’s maid of honor, Brooke, John scouted for the perfect ring while Megan was on a trip in Hawaii. It didn’t take long for them to find the one, while Megan remained oblivious for months after. John would FINALLY propose to Megan amidst the blossoming flowers at Highland Park in Rochester on April 19, 2024. Thus began their newest chapter and the rest of their lives!
