We're Getting Married!

Branden's Story: We were young when we first met. My summer league team was playing in a local basketball tournament, and I had just finished a game when I noticed Taylor. She was wearing a black shirt with "Fury" written in pink lettering on it, shorts, and silver sandals. I had never seen her before, though I had a feeling she went to my school since she was sitting with a girl that I knew from school. I got one of my teammates and went to where they were sitting and started talking to them. While talking to Taylor, all I could think about was how pretty and cool she was, and how I could see us "dating". Although I thought I was being so cool and smooth the whole time, I realized afterwards that I never asked for her number. It wasn't until that night when I noticed she sent me a friend request and message on facebook that I finally got the chance to ask. Taylor's Story: It was rare that I had a weekend off from basketball, and the weekend I met Branden was one of those weekends. My summer league team had just finished an out-of-town tournament, and not wanting to spend the whole weekend sitting around doing nothing, I asked around to see what was going on. I was told that our guy's basketball team was playing at the local college, and since I had a few friends on the team, I decided to go. I asked one of my teammates to accompany me, and we got there right as the game started. Although I love to watch basketball, I found myself unable to focus on the game. Instead, I couldn't stop watching the cute, blonde point guard who really loved to shoot threes and dive on the ground after every loose ball, even if it meant getting banged up in the process. I admired this. After the game, I was nervous when I realized he was coming over with one of his teammates to talk to us. However, my nerves calmed when I realized how easy conversation seemed to flow. When I got home, I decided to look him up on Facebook and send him a "great game" message. The rest is history.
