Victoria Cartwright ’19 and Conner Thompson ’19

Conner and I met on the very first day of UCF orientation. His mother was standing in line for a free t-shirt next to my mother. Our mothers started talking to each other and realized that their children would be best friends. And we immediately were! We spent our first year at UCF hanging out with friends, going to football games, and exploring campus. During our second year, we made it official and started dating. We continued dating after graduation and survived long distance while Conner went through medical school. We finally got married in May 2023!
