How we met

Sports Emporium Romance

Short answer...we met playing soccer at the Sports Emporium! One of Ann's first interaction memories (that Nick remembers slightly different) is while our two teams were playing each other. Ann had a cough - either a random one or getting sick, she can't remember - and Nick was marking her. She coughed on him and he said something along the lines of "oh man the last time you were sick I got sick!" (in a friendly, funny way). Ann remembers thinking woah, I don't think I've talked to this guy before, but I got him sick?! lol. Then a week or so later Ann tried to make a joke with Nick and said something about him getting sick or she hoped he felt better and Nick gave her this blank stare. Return friendliness rejected. Maybe not quite love at first cough! :) Funny thing about their whole 'how did you meet' story though is that after they were dating for a little while they realized they were both on the same soccer trip to Europe. Both Ann and Nick traveled through the same program with their teams back in high school. They didn't know each other then, and Nick is 3 years older than Ann so their teams didn't interact too much on the trip, but they were in Europe together for 2 weeks! Ann told him she thinks he noticed her during that trip and couldn't get her out of his mind. :)
