Walking the halls of Westford Academy during our senior year, we finally crossed each other's path. Our high school crew team brought us into the same group of friends, but what brought us together as a couple was candy. Katie brought candy to school every day, and because she had a massive crush on Alex, decided that she could actually share her food with him. Little did he know how important this honor was way back then. Fast forward a couple of months and a few relatively awkward teenage movie nights together, Alex plucked up the courage to kiss Katie. For those of you who doubted the power of candy, shame on you, Katie's plan had worked! About a month after our first kiss, Alex was planning on attending a Brown Family Christmas (and for those of you who know how those events go, that was a bold move for the unofficial boyfriend). That night before the party was when Alex made our relationship official! The rest is history, we survived 5 years of long distance while we were in college and now here we are, basically adults, still love candy, getting married. We wouldn't change it for the world.
