Ivan and I met in an unconventional way, which explains our entire relationship perfectly. We have never been the ones to be conventional in our relationship, and now especially with our wedding! Amanda was the main key behind Ivan and I meeting, and if it wasn't for her cheesy pickup lines, I would never have had the guts to speak to Ivan. He was a heart warmer from the very beginning, and one of the sweetest people I have ever met. He took me to see Office Party in the movie theatre, and talked the entire movie. I was very shy and timid, so I just nodded and smiled and focused my view on the screen. After, it was one date after another, and soon all I wanted to do was explore and find our next adventure. We have been to 4 different states together, different beaches, museums, science centers, aquariums, and more! (And after November, that number will increase significantly!) I cannot wait to see where the rest of our life takes us and all of the things that we get to see. In December it will have been 5 years since Ivan asked me to be his girlfriend, and in February it will be a year that he asked me to be his wife. I feel so blessed to experience my life with one of the most caring, funny, and supporting adventure partners that exist.
