We met our first day of college, we had our first architecture design studio together. At first Eric only saw Navy as a classmate, but we developed a friendship quickly and got to know each other more. We found out we were in the same dorm down the hall from each other and started to hang out outside of class. After a few months of friendship, Navy revealed a big ole crush and we decided to pursue a relationship. Eric admired Navy’s bubbly personality, counter to his reserved calmness, and enjoyed being her friend. Navy was drawn to Eric’s calm presence to counterbalance her sometimes chaotic self, and loved his reliability and sense of humor. We registered for all the same classes to always be with each other, and after 4+ years of being together (and an architecture degree to be attained a week before the wedding), we still feel happiest when we live life side by side.
