As most of you may know, we are middle school sweet hearts! We initially met when I (Andre'ya) beat him in a race in 2nd grade, but sadly he will never admit that so I'm going to fast forward to when we met again in 6th grade; where I constantly beat him in our favorite card game, speed. (He's finally gotten a little better and gives me some competition now thank goodness). We would play that game at school for hours, over and over again on the last few days of school but then of course, we lost connection over that summer because our parents wouldn't let us have phones at that time!! Skipping along to our 8th grade year, our last year of middle school. We were in National Junior Honor Society together and being a member of that group, we had to host the school dance. That day before leaving the school to get ready for the dance Karoan approaches me with all of the confidence in the world and says "You look cute and all, but you would look cuter with me". WHO KNEW that this pick up line would get us all the way to where we are today. He had me HOOKED and he still does till' this day! Just like every other couple, we have had our good days, great days and the bad ones, but we wouldn't trade any of them because they have helped us to be who we are today and helped to make us stronger as a couple. We've truly grown together and went through the breaks during high school, the long distance through college, moving in together, getting fur-babies, and now we get to get married and begin the next part of our lives together, with you by our sides.... all because this cute cocky 8th grader knew how to sweep me off of my feet and make me his WIFE.
