Our story is definitely not your average how we first met it took a few times before I, the bride, actually gave him a chance. At least now we can laugh about it. We first met in the 11th grade sitting at the table in home economics. He was always quiet and we only spoke when we talked about school work. Years later he would always be at my house playing the game or basketball with my brother and others in my neighborhood. We went on a our first date to the movies but we didn't hit it off. Three years later February 2016 I was surprised with a valentine's day gift and I was smitten by the gift. We went on a couple more dates and ever since then we have been together going through life and making memories with each other. That just goes to show that if you want something just keep at it and if it was meant to be it was meant to be. We are excited that on the 9th day of October we will reunite our love with family and friends and enjoy our night.
