We met at Brennan High School in 2017, but the moment that really started everything happened at a hockey game. Jose had taken my seat, and when I asked where I was supposed to sit, he looked at me with that confident grin and said, “On my lap.” I was shocked — but also impressed. It felt like I’d finally met my match, someone who could keep up with my quick mouth and give it right back. Not long after, we both realized this was something special. I didn’t want to be away from him, and he felt the same. All the stress of school, home, and being teenagers faded whenever we were together. We brought out the best in each other, and little by little, we learned what true love really feels like. Although our relationship has been far from perfect everyday we wake up and choose each other and our family. There isn't a world where I can't imagine not being together. There is so many laughs and smiles when we are together and we have both shown that our love for one another is stronger than anything that could come between us. I chose you in the packed hockey arena and I will chose you for the rest of our lives.
