We met in High School as Juniors playing varsity tennis for opposing teams. He was top seed for his team and as well I. Though we were competing against each other, he would often talk to my teammates and eventually, me too. He was sweet and he made me nervous especially when he asked me for my number. Of course I gave it to him, Casual texting turning into texting everyday learning everything we could about each other. Though we lived two hours apart from each other, I talked to him everyday. Our teams often played at the same tournament so we got to see each other every other week. While at one of these tournaments, Ben finally asked me to be his girlfriend! Five years later, two college degrees, a pup named Ellie and no longer distance, I get to say 'I do' to my forever tennis partner and my best friend. Game, Set, Match.
