James and I first met when I was in 6th grade and he was in 7th. We were both going to Willink Middle School and we both just so happened to be in red hall. I remember seeing James one day while he was walking down the hall with his best friend Corey and I was with my best friend Emily. When I saw him I looked at Emily and said "Damn, I am going to marry him". James and I were always on and off, we dated other people and went our separate ways. Fast forward to when I was 16, I decided to throw a huge party at my apartment and as the party was just getting started, I get a text that said “look outside”. It was James and Corey across the court yard on their balcony waving down. We had no idea each other lived there. And so our journey continued. Shortly after, we decided it was time to have our official first date. I remember getting in my beat up blue Cavalier and driving over and being so excited. We sit down and had a wonderful dinner with some great conversation. When James paid the bill, the waitress asked if that was really his last name " Loveless"? She complimented him and said she thought that was so cool and that she loved it. I did too. I always have, even when I was 11 back in the 6th grade calling myself Mrs. Amber Loveless. Fast forward to today! I will be Mrs. Amber Loveless and finally get to call him my husband. A long 17 years in the making and two absolutely beautiful children later, I FINALLY get to be your wife. James and I have a love story for the books to say the least.
