Austin and I met during his last year of high school through mutual friends. We quickly became close, hanging out with our friends every chance we got. We were “just friends” but I knew we wouldn’t have that title forever. He was there for me through all my college years, always giving me advice on guys and secretly (or not so secretly) hoping one day I’d quit going for the stupid boys and just date him already. I knew if I gave him a chance, he would be it for me. Eventually we went on our first date and everything just clicked. Ever since that moment we have been building a life and a family together. I cannot wait until he is my husband!

My good friend introduced me to Jennelle during high school and she immediately caught my eye with her good looks and her smart mind. Between thinking about Jennelle and hanging out with mutual friends, her and I were always close, but yet I was too nervous to take our friendship to the next level without losing her as my best friend. Jennelle and I were already looking out for each other when it came to dating advice, but we didn’t know at the time we were preparing each other for years of happiness together. Once we went on our first date, we started building our future together as a couple, tackling whatever life puts in front of us. I am beyond blessed to have Jennelle as my forever best friend.
