I don't remember exactly the first time I met Joel, he went to high school with my cousin Shayna so we'd bump into each other occasionally at gatherings. In early summer of 2014, we had all gotten together for a going-away bon fire for Shayna and I must have really turned up the charm because the next day Joel worked up the courage to ask me out. He was sweet and cute so I gave it a shot but his nerves got the best of him and I wasn't impressed. Four years later we met again at some mutual friends' wedding and thank God we did because the second date was a lot better ;)
