Our story begins in high school with a girl relentlessly trying to talk to, and cheer up, a boy who spoke all but 20 words in any given day and wore headphones 90% of the time. As this went on the conversations became longer and the boy began to look forward to them. After weeks of this going on, the boy nervously stumbled through his words and asked for her phone number. Having no shame, or game for that matter, the boy proceeded to text the girl approximately 3 minutes after this (awkward) encounter. From that text on the conversation has not stopped. We have grown from strangers to acquaintances to friends to best friends to partners to soon to be husband and wife.
