A New York boy met a Texas girl in Oklahoma City, of all places. We met during Air Traffic Control training and quickly became study buddies. Between classes, exams, and helping each other survive training, we became inseparable. We claimed to share a single brain cell and jokingly referred to each other as our "twin flame" because we always seemed to be thinking the same thing. Somewhere along the way, we even found ourselves joking about what our wedding cake would look like someday, long before either of us realized how important we would become to each other. When training ended and everyone prepared to go their separate ways, Mark made a confession: he didn't want their time together to end. He told Alyssa that wherever she was, he wanted to be there too, and asked her to move with him to Memphis. She said yes. Years later, we're still sharing that one brain cell, still making each other laugh, and now we're finally planning that wedding we once joked about.
