- N: I was very nervous to ask Bella to be my girlfriend. She was an incredible athlete and the star freshman of the cross-country team. What a catch she would be! B: When Noah handed me a photo at the Kavarna Coffee Shop asking me out, I couldn't help but say 'yes' in return! He was a very talented, intelligent, and charming guy (and still is). N: Things went well for nine months, but we had some growing up to do. It turns out 14-year-olds don't know much about relationships. B: Yeah, let's skip to college. When Noah texted me right before freshman year asking if I was going to Madison, I was surprised and excited to be talking to him again. He was always my favorite. ;) N: I'm so grateful my friends told me to text her. I could not stop thinking about how we would be in college together and figured this would be my last shot! B: I said 'yes' to getting dinner and ice cream with him, which turned into a summer of saying 'yes' to boating, movies, and more dinners. N: In college, we made memories that would last a lifetime. Bella's work ethic and intelligence constantly motivated me to push harder. I accredit her for shaping me into the person I am today. B: Awe, you're making me blush! Noah was my rock through stressful times in college. He always helped me look at the bigger picture and never left my side. N: The next time Bella would say 'yes' to me was in Paris. As I dropped to one knee in the pouring rain, my mind went blank. I was about to spend the rest of my life with this woman. B: I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with this man. - B&N: Thank you for spending this special day with us and being an important part of our lives.
