We're getting married!

Although we had been in the same room several times at our first PMO camp week, we didn't actually meet until the first week of classes our freshman year at Purdue. We had both signed up for the same recruitment event at Bailey Hall and hit it off pretty well! Of course he offered to help me if I ever had an issue with my computer ;D We spent a lot of time together those first few weeks on campus bonding over missing our friends and family and learning how to navigate this wildly new environment. Eventually we came to the realization that we had a lot to learn about ourselves before we would ever be ready for each other. The next few years rolled by with many friendly passes at rehearsals and in the halls, while at the same time we were dealing with the successes and struggles that college brought us both as individuals. As junior year came to a close, we were both left proud of our accomplishments and excited about the possibility of having someone to share them with. Little did we know that those people would soon be each other! He asked me on several "dates" that summer, all of which I politely declined, not realizing that he was asking as more than a friend. On his final attempt, he asked me to a concert in the lawn at the Union, and let me know that he wasn't planning on going without me. Although I was nervous, I went through with it. All my nerves melted away the first time we hugged again in almost 3 years. The concert was terrible, but the company was not! We spent the evening laughing and this time bonding over our common interests, lessons learned and excitement about our futures. Over the next few months we found ourselves falling in love and haven't stopped ever since. Now, we can't wait to stand before you and vow to never stop having fun, learning together and loving one another. We hope to see you soon! Love, Ed & Jess
