Falcon Flames

[ fal-kən flām ]
adjective
(of two BGSU Falcons) united in marriage.
|  "a falcon flame"

Two Falcons. One shared BGSU connection. A story entirely their own.

Falcon Flames are couples who shared something in their lives before they shared a life together: BGSU.

Maybe you met in Bowling Green. Maybe you crossed paths here without knowing what was ahead. Maybe you attended years apart and found each other somewhere else entirely.

However your story started, if you're both Falcons, you're a Falcon Flame.

Happy Sweetest Day!

What type of Falcon Flames are you?

  • The OGs
    We met at Bowling Green, and our relationship started here.
  • The Firecrackers
    Our fuse took longer to burn. We knew each other at BGSU, but our relationship began after graduation.
  • The Sparklers
    Falcon fate brought us together. We both went to BGSU, but our paths didn't cross until later.
  • The Wildfires
    Our love story is too unique to fit neatly into the other categories.
