M + L first met in 7th grade! Believe it or not, we were the same height at that time... Back in high school, L took M to a Colorado Mammoth game (huge lacrosse fans... huge). Unfortunately for L, the kiss cam had its sights set on this poor, skinny, brown kid. And sure enough, we made it onto the screen. M pointed to her cheek. Getting rejected in front of thousands of people was the confidence boost L needed to ask her on another date.
M went out to LA to visit her best friend Lauren. Little did she know that L + his family flew out a few hours after her. They were waiting at our favorite spot in Newport Beach, along with a hidden photographer and family friends. L popped the question and this time, not being rejected in front of strangers, M said hellz yes! We spent the rest of the weekend celebrating in Newport with family and friends.
