Cara (Galterio) Buckenmeyer ’12 and Michael Buckenmeyer ’11

Mike and I first met when we played on the same co-ed intramural basketball team. I was a freshman and he was a sophomore. We only spoke briefly during the season, and didn’t see or talk to each other again until we played again his senior year. My roommates and I had to do some community service and I jokingly asked Mike if he wanted to come to the soup kitchen with us Saturday morning at 8 a.m. Never in a million years did I expect a second semester senior guy to agree to wake up early on a weekend to do community service so when he said yes, I knew he was special. We hung out together around campus and eventually went to see the movie Limitless as our first date. Never did I expect that three and a half years later he would use the same movie to propose. We were married this past October in New York and are currently living together in Pittsburgh with a new puppy. Life couldn’t be better and we are so happy to be on this adventure together.
