We first met in 10th grade when Max moved to Providence and we ended up in Mrs. Rausch's English class together. We started off as just friends—going to football games, texting constantly, laughing over everything and nothing. Max liked Kaylee… but Kaylee didn’t like Max. So, to the friend zone he went. But then something changed. One day, Kaylee looked at him differently, and suddenly, everything shifted. Kaylee started to fall for Max —and once she did, she basically had to beg him to ask her to be his girlfriend! Thankfully, he did. What started in a high school classroom turned into a decade-long journey—through the rest of high school, long-distance during college, a year apart working in Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale—and somehow, life brought us back to the very place it all began. Now, ten years later, we’re marrying our high school sweetheart—the person who walked into our lives in 10th grade and never really left.
