I was invited on a double-date with my cousin, Halle, which I was suckered into. I had no idea what he looked like, where he was from, or how old he was. I remember sitting on the lawn watching cars roll up to the intersection and trying to guess which car was his. Then, this sleek, red Camaro stops at the intersection and turns onto my road, I was thinking, "there's no way that's him". To my surprise it was, and as soon as I met him I felt butterflies in my stomach. I still remember our first date, moment by moment, from eating dinner at Hennigan's, to bowling, and then finally driving around listening to music. Now here we are, a few years later, getting married! It's crazy to think that I met my soulmate in tenth grade, but love is love and we wouldn't trade it for the world.
