... the air. Yes, love is in the air because they're getting married! Recently, Patrick Digenan '20 of Steds proposed to Julia White '20 of Cavanaugh at the Grotto of Florida State weekend, and without hesitation, Julia said yes, and magically, a photographer appeared, capturing the immediate aftermath of Patrick's proposal. Enjoy! The happy, engaged couple look forward to exchanging their vows in 2026. On their engagement, an elated Patrick shared,
"Julia and I met after the Steds Class of 2020 had performed the famous “Everytime We Touch” serenade in St. Edwards Park during Welcome Weekend. If nothing else, this is a testament to how persuasive the Kids can be with their dancing skills, which were inspired by Hall and King.
When St. Ed placed Notre Dame’s first residence hall, conveniently between the Dome and the largest women’s hall on campus, he truly was divinely inspired. Julia and I thank him for the serendipity that he fostered in allowing us to meet in such a beautiful corner of Notre Dame’s campus. Location truly is everything in real estate.
Steds and Notre Dame have given me infinite blessings, and I am eternally grateful to both.”
Congratulations and best wishes to Patrick and Julia!
