We're Getting Married!!

We had come across each other multiple times on social media, and we had been "suggested" to each other on more than one occasion. Neither of us acted on it, however. One day, when we were "suggested" to each other, Taylor decided to act on it. "Is that your brother in that picture? Does he go to Waukee?" - As if she couldn't think of anything more clever than that...but...it worked!! "That's actually my cousin, and he goes to Norwalk." - Ope. Shoot your shot. We were suddenly obsessed with talking to each other. Zach was traveling for work, so he was NEVER in town to hang out. On his birthday-eve, we finally got to have our first date. Pizza Hut buffalo chicken stuffed-crust pizza, Busch Light, and The Office quickly became the anthem of our relationship. We both fell hard, fast, and intensely for each other. Then we found out the next day that Zach was being shipped off for work again. For two weeks. Bummer! We took it in stride. He got back on a Friday morning, and on Sunday he was shipped off to California. For a MONTH!! We spent our whole first month apart, but there was nothing that could get in the way of what we both knew was fate. We were soulmates. First comes love, then comes marriage. It's been a trying year, but we are so in love and we are best of friends because of it. Welcome to our story!
