In 2009, I remember our High school principal, Mr. Barker, gave a speech at our freshman orientation and joked that historically, about 10 of us were sitting in the same room as our future spouse. I laughed it off, never believing it to be true....Connor and I messaged each other on Skype every once in awhile throughout freshman and sophomore year, but did not notice a connection until our Junior year math class. I noticed that Connor got a sweet hair cut, and I told our mutual friend Kristina that I thought he was cute. Being high schoolers, Connor and I communicated through gossip and made Kristina our go between. Eventually, we realized we both really liked each other and we could not stop texting and talking to each other. Our first "date" was at TGI Fridays after the school play. Kristina, Connor, and I talked for hours and I lost track of time which made me miss curfew. I got into so much trouble and my mom took away my driver's license. I hate to say it mom, but getting grounded was totally worth it. Our relationship started out with football games, high school drama, and prom, but it has grown into something so beautiful and special. It's an incredible thing to witness another person's growth from a teen to an adult. We've laughed together, grieved together, solved problems together, and ultimately grew a magnificent and strong partnership. We are each other's best friend, and we are excited to start this next journey together. We are grateful for the family and friends who have taught us what it means to love fiercely and give selflessly. Connor and I are so excited to celebrate our union with all of you!
