Let's set the scene: 7 years ago, we were introduced through mutual friends. Purely platonic, with a dash of sarcasm and some high-fives. Everyone around us seemed to think we were perfect for each other, but of course, we knew better. I mean, can't a guy and a girl just be friends without people jumping to conclusions? Cue years of close friendship filled with late-night phone calls, ridiculous inside jokes, many "non-dates", and sharing life's major ups and downs. We were there for each other through it all - laughing, crying, teasing, and swearing up and down that we were JUST FRIENDS. Somewhere along the way, the lines between friendship and something more began to blur. Maybe it was one too many friends, sisters, co-workers, and waitresses nudging us; or maybe it was that one time we realized we missed one another a little too much after only spending one weekend apart. Whatever it was, we started to see each other differently. Suddenly, Jonathan found himself listening to Taylor Swift and Alix found herself rooting for the Rangers and watching hockey games at home by herself. It was as if something had been giving us a sign to just "Get it together, you two!" They say love is best when it's built on friendship and for us, that couldn't be more true. Eventually, we gave into the obvious. What started as "Wait... are we really doing this?" quickly turned into "Where has this been all my life?" Friendship became dating, dating quickly turned into falling in love. Here we are, making it official and turning a friendship that survived everything (including our denial) into a marriage that we know will survive even more. We may have taken the scenic route, but some things are worth the wait. So, welcome to our love story: the plot twist we never saw coming but everyone else totally did.
