Marissa's Version: When I first moved to Florida I didn't know a soul that lived here. The only people I got to know before school started was my soccer team. I knew I wanted to study something to do with physical therapy which led me to have a lot of classes with other athletes at the school. I noticed a few baseball players in my class because the professor was really drawn to that sport. As the year got started the soccer players became really good friends with the baseball players and we supported each other at a lot of games. Around October I received a FB message from this kid named Bubba who was in my class. I had never met a Bubba before in my life so I thought his name was funny. We got to talking about baseball and school and that led me to go watch even more baseball games. He ended up asking me on a date, which everyone told me to go on because he was known to be the "nice" baseball player. He sweet talked his way through the next couple of dates and we became in separate able. Years went by and we had many firsts together; Disney trips, traveling to Europe, learning salsa, trips to Key West etc... We both pursued our future goals in different states but still remained a very strong couple. When Bubba moved back to Florida we knew that it was time for the next step (at least I did). Almost 8 years later and I can't wait to marry my best friend! Bubba's Version: I met Marissa at the start of my second year in college. We were taking the same class but I hadn't really noticed her until a couple of months into the year. I remember her casually strolling in late one day and something just stood out about her. So I stalked her on Facebook and broke the ice by offering her a study guide for an upcoming test. in that very first conversation, I told her I was going to marry her and seven years later, we've committed to spending the rest of our lives together.
