How We Met

Robert: When I first moved to Buffalo for college, I was visiting a new campus group, when a beautiful blonde caught my eye. Before I could introduce myself, she came up to me and introduced herself with a firm handshake. Fast forward two months, I fell in love with her at the zoo, when she cried at the monkey display. I knew her compassion for animals would translate to even more empathy for people. A month later she dropped everything she had - drove 2 hours one way just to spend an hour and half with my family, that's when I knew she was a keeper. Aleigha: As cliche as it sounds, it was the first day I felt free from wanting to be in a relationship. That night I went to Campus Ambassadors, a ministry group I attended in Buffalo. Towards the end of the night, a cute new guy caught my eye, and I had to introduce myself. A few weeks later we happened to attend the same Easter dinner. We both went for the turkey legs, and hit it off immediately. A couple months later he felt comfortable enough to open the door to my house without knocking. I saw him walk in, and when he saw me, he smiled. In that moment I knew that his smile was what I wanted coming home to me every day for the rest of my life.
