On August 26th 2017 the residence of 1814 Westmoreland threw a monumental party for Marymount University standards - This party took place on the first Saturday of the 2017 Semester and was hosted by Erich Bratke and his 4 roommates. Erich really didn’t know what to expect when throwing this party - he definitely wasn’t expecting to meet his future wife!

Lillian Tousley, having just arrived on Campus for her sophomore year, heard about a house party happening that night and decided to go with a couple friends. She really didn’t know what to expect when going to this party - She definitely wasn’t expecting to meet her future husband!

In typical Lillian fashion she and her friends arrived to the party early! As one of the first people to arrive she was greeted with smiles, introductions, and craft beverages from the party hosts. Within 30 seconds Erich and Lillian started talking and essentially haven’t stopped since.

About 2 years into their relationship they welcomed a new addition into their family - Oliver. Oliver quickly became just as important to them as they were to each other. The 3 of them continue to live their lives happily in Arlington where they cannot stand to do anything without each other.
