We met while attending college at Liberty University. Ian was a sophomore, and Emily was a freshman, and we lived on the same floor of our dorm. To spare you A LOT of twists & turns & a plethora of details, a good summary is this: we pretty quickly became good friends! Our friends became each other's friends, and before you know it, feelings happened. Well, one-sided ones anyways. Ian developed feelings for Emily, and she politely (in Emily's words) friend zoned him. A few months later, the opposite happened. Emily fell for Ian, and he respectfully declined. Finally, after a year and a half of being "just friends" Ian yet again confessed his feelings, and the rest is history! We dated for an absolutely glorious 6 months in-person, and have been doing long distance since March of 2020. Needless to say, we're SO glad you're here, because that means we're one step closer to never having to say goodbye again!!!
