We're getting married!

A story written by Evan: The year was 2009. America had sworn in its first black president, Avatar( the blue people not the bald one) became the highest grossing film of all time, and Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift on Stage during the MTV award ceremony. Eclipsing all of these major world changing events, Nichelle and I met each other for the first time in world civ in 9th Grade. I had an afro, braces, thick glasses and looked like Norbit, while Nichelle had straight hair, glowing skin, and a smile that could light up the room. Needless to say, it was love at first sight and I knew she wanted me. Fast forwarding a bit, while we never dated in high school( she had eyes for me while I had eyes for my xbox), we were able to reconnect post college at a mutual friends party. We chatted like no time had passed, made up fake scenarios to hang out with each other, and became stuck to each other like glue. The year is now 2026. With 7 years of dating, and 17 years of knowing one another, I can surely and confidently say this. If she can put up with my craziness for this long, then marriage will be a piece of cake :)
