We first met in middle school, when I was in my cringy emo phase and before Curt's voice had dropped. We lost contact for a few years, but reconnected in college group at that same church. He DM'd me trying to make a move and I only messaged back because I was friends with his sister throughout high school (shout-out Sarah!). He made me laugh and before long we'd both fallen head over heels in love. We eventually both confessed that we had actually had crushes on each other in middle school... and we finally saw that it was meant to be all along.

One fateful thanksgiving, Savanna Scruggs made the best mashed potatoes of her life--not that they were edible, but because she got a husband out of it. Now you may ask: how do you get a husband out of burnt mashed potatoes (Savanna edit: they were not burnt, just over-boiled)? It all starts with a beautiful laugh and a man falling in love over a stupid story about mashed potatoes.
