Mich and I met while working at a middle school in Harlem (hence "middle school sweethearts"). We quickly became friends and the more time we spent together, the deeper my feelings grew. It finally got to a point where I couldn't take it anymore and poured it all out to her. She wasn't ready at the time, and that was fine with me because I knew then like I know now that I was going to marry her. So I waited for her to be ready and it turned out that she had feelings for me too. Mich laughs when I describe the wait as agonizing because it really was just a few days, but for me it all began the moment I saw her for the first time and heard her laugh. Ok, that's enough! I'll save the rest for the vows. Here are some pictures from our early days! <3 Jo
