They didn\u2019t know each other, but he was in a crisis\u2014his pencil had broken, and he had no way to take notes. She was a couple of seats away on the same row, so he asked if she had anything he could borrow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll she had was a purple pen, so I wrote notes that day with a purple pen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>That plum-colored introduction led to friendship, then to dates, then to a relationship. They both graduated from UTC in 2015 with degrees in biology and moved to Memphis to enroll at Southern College of Optometry, where they graduated in 2020 and started careers in optometry.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Jan. 26, all of it led to a marriage proposal in the same UTC classroom where they met 10 years ago. Getting down on one knee, he called her his \u201cbest friend\u201d and said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. She had no idea it was coming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBaaaabe,\u201d she said softly through a wide smile, her voice a mixture of surprise, joy and love.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and yes. She said \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was so nervous, though, he put the engagement ring on her right hand instead of left.<\/p>\n<p>They now live in Cleveland, Tenn. She works at Toomey &amp; Baggett Eyecare in Athens, Tenn.; he works at Oakmont Eyecare in Cleveland. To get her to come to Chattanooga on Tuesday, he told her the UTC Office of Alumni Affairs wanted to interview graduates who\u2019ve been successful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was like, \u2018Yeah, sure, I\u2019ll come down there and answer some questions and take some pictures,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout their academic career, both at UTC and Southern Optometry, they have been each other\u2019s support system, they said. She\u2019s great at organization; he has a terrific memory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe can remember things so well, like one little, tiny detail from class. I\u2019m like, \u2018I don\u2019t even remember us talking about that,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>But he can\u2019t remember if he gave the purple pen back.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It all started with a purple pen.
