stronger. Finally returning to Marquette, Rachel and Mitch spent Rachel’s senior year and Mitch’s junior year together. They attended basketball games, sorority and fraternity formals, and enjoyed Milwaukee until Rachel graduated and moved to Chicago to start her career in advertising. The time in Barcelona was just a taste of the long distance journey on which the couple was about to embark. For three years, the pair switched off taking the 90 mile track from Milwaukee to Chicago and back. In May 2020, Mitch accepted a full-time engineering job in Chicago. Although the pandemic had hit by the time Mitch moved, he and Rachel were so happy to finally be in the same city again. They got to enjoy their first Chicago summer together and in September of 2020 the couple added a new member to their family, a puppy named Scooter. In November 2020, after selecting the ideal ring for Rachel at Meierottos, Mitch proposed on the Clark Street Bridge over the Chicago River, with their new puppy by his side. They are set to be married in February 2022. We are so honored to have played a small part in their tremendous love story and congratulate Mitch and Rachel on their engagement and upcoming wedding.

At that time, Rachel Krisco, a sophomore, worked as the dorm’s secretary. Her job consisted mainly of assisting hall council members, like Mitch. Each week, Mitch would create agendas for his meetings and Rachel would print them. While the agenda printing only lasted three weeks, Mitch continued to find excuses to visit Rachel in her office. Their friendship grew throughout 2014 and so did Mitch‘s crush on Rachel. Mitch asked Rachel out in September of 2015, almost a year after they first met. It also happened to be only three months before Rachel would leave for her semester abroad, in Barcelona. Although the physical distance was tough, their relationship continue to grow
