The real story of best friends who fell in love... Jared & Annalise actually met in high-school, but didn't become friends until college. For the next three years, they were best friends always eating Waffle House. As Jared was graduating from the military, his mom asked Annalise to ride to Virginia to celebrate his graduation & bring him back home to Georgia. Well to her surprise, she instantly had feelings for Jared the moment she saw him after 10 months away. Luckily, the feeling was mutual after little convincing & they've been together ever since!
