PURPLE REIGN

PORTIA ROSEMOND & PATRICK RAGEN

Portia Rosemond and Patrick Ragen were born at the same hospital – albeit a few years apart, had mutual friends, and both went to college at Stanford University; however, they somehow never crossed paths. The year after Portia finished an exchange program at Harvard Law School, Patrick began his first year at the esteemed university. “We unfortunately missed each other yet again,” says Patrick. It wasn’t until Portia came back the next year for a recruiting event that they were finally introduced. “Although it was the first time we had met, something felt strangely familiar,” shares Patrick; however, this brief meeting occurred only for them to go their separate ways. Two years later, they reconnected at events and parties while living in Los Angeles. “Before we knew it, we were dating,” he adds.
