We're getting married!

I knew her name and her face was always familiar, but our paths never crossed in high school. She always wore these purple and white Nike sneakers, and for whatever reason I could always pick them out in a crowd. We would routinely exchange soft smiles and eye contact, and I never thought anything of it. One evening while playing golf, my life changed forever. I had just teed off on 15 when my phone buzzed right as I went to pick up my bag, and looked down to see a Twitter notification from none other than the Girl With The Purple Nikes. After a day or two of light conversation, she invited me over to her parent's house after school to hang out. She opened the front door as soon as I walked up and greeted me with the same gorgeous smile I'm still chasing to this day. After 8 years of laughs, smiles, and love; we have officially purchased our own house, planned our wedding, and now, our future.

In high school, he was always the cool kid that I never thought I would get to know. I can still remember telling one of his friends that I really wanted his number and that I would somehow get it one day. I was always nervous and shy in high school and never really went after what I wanted. One day I was sitting at home and noticed that he had changed his picture on Twitter, and for some reason, I decided this was the day that I really needed to go after what I wanted. One simple message saying how much I liked his new picture and there was no turning back!
