For years, we lived just seven minutes apart without ever actually meeting—but somehow always knew of each other. I had a not so secret crush on Daniel since I was 10, and (as I later found out) he had apparently been telling his sister and some friends that he thought I was really pretty. We finally officially met at a women’s Bible study (yes, really—he came with his sister), and we started as friends… but not for long. It didn’t take much time for us to realize we liked each other a lot! On January 1st, after our church’s New Year’s prayer, he asked me to be his girlfriend in the very same parking lot where we first met.. and now we're getting hitched!
