We're getting married!

It all started with a hand shake... The night we first met we were both hanging out with mutual friends at the house of Natalie O'Malley. Co-best men Gabe Sirwinski and Nick Walker were there from the get-go. I was smitten from the very start when I first saw Amanda. She seemed cool and I was nervous and wanted to impress her. After the night was over, I gave all of my friends a hug goodbye, and when it came to Amanda, I knew I had to do something different to impress her. My mind raced. How could I make a lasting good impression before leaving, possibly forever? Would a hug be too intrusive because we just met? A wave, too little? I panicked. I extended my hand in an old-fashioned "put-er-there" and shook her hand. Time froze. "Nice to meet you" escaped my lips but I was barely conscious of the words. I left the house in a daze, and was only awoken when Nick said, laughter barely being contained, "Alan what the hell was that? Did you just shake her hand???" We immediately did damage control... the rest is history.
