Fate had plans for us to meet at a High School summer program in 2007 despite attending schools on opposite sides of the country. Apparently we were unaware of those plans because facebook was as far as our friendship went at the time. Eight years later, with a little help from the Navy, fate got its second chance when Aaron was stationed in Seattle, WA- precisely where Aera happened to be attending medical school. Only 8 years, 3 moves, and seemingly infinite cross-country flights later, we're saying "I do".
