We met at Southwest Junior High School in the ninth grade. It wasn't love at first sight and took a couple years of maturing to see what was right in front of us. We became friends riding the bus to the high school for sports. From there, we continued to hang out at school and soon that turned into hanging out as friends after school. Eventually we figured out about our feelings for each other and over five years of dating later, here we are about to tie the knot.
