How theyMet

10 Years of Love, 1 Year of Marriage

Ten years ago on a Friday morning, Chris grabbed the keys to his blue chevy pick-up, swung his backpack over his shoulder and drove to Ida Baker High School. Meanwhile, Brooke finished her makeup, put on her cheerleading uniform, and walked out the front door. Little did either of them know that as they went off to school that day, they'd meet the love of their lives. The day began like any other with classes, lunch, and more classes until it was the second to last period of the day. Brooke served as an aid to the front office and was responsible for running passes to classes for a variety of reasons. Meanwhile, Chris sat in class upstairs. On this particular Friday, as Chris sat next to a friend (note: also, on the cheerleading team), Brooke delivered a pass to their classroom. When Brooke walked into the classroom, she grabbed Chris' attention. Their mutual friend noticed, called Brooke over to say hello and introduced the two. There was an immediate connection. As Brooke left, their friend sent a text asking if she could give Chris her phone number. Excited and nervous because after all, he was a Senior... she said she would need time to think it over. Fast forward to later that evening, Brooke went to cheer at the football game. The Bulldogs won and after the game she and a few teammates went to the local McDonalds to celebrate. As they sat eating McFlurry’s & fries, one of the cheerleader's boyfriends noticed his friend casually pumping gas across the street into his blue chevy pick-up. He called him and told him to drive over. Sure enough, it was Chris that walked through the door. When Brooke & Chris locked eyes for the second time they knew it was fate. They spent the rest of the night laughing, talking, and learning about each other. 10 years, 4 cities, 2 pets, & 1 global pandemic later, they are overjoyed to finally celebrate their love story with their closest family and friends.
