Kate and Steven finally Say "I BOO" at the zoo!

Kate and Steven first met in 8th grade, when Steven transferred mid-year into Kate's homeroom class. They were casual friends until 9th grade, when one day, while outside waiting to be picked up after school, Steven threw an entirely full Gatorade bottle from 30 yards away in Kate's direction (aiming at his friend who was next to Kate) which hit her square in the rib cage. She folded like a lawn chair. Though winded and confused, Kate was mostly unharmed and went home. Steven, mortified, found Kate's number in the phone book (remember those?) and called her house to apologize and make sure she was okay. Somehow that sparked an actual friendship, and eventually - a relationship. We've now lived together in 3 different states; we've seen each other at our best and our worst; we've navigated life's ups and downs; and despite it all, we have supported, tolerated, and loved each other while we've changed and grown over the past 20 years.
