Its kind of a long story... the first time I hear about Ryan was in high school. My best friend (and Matron of Honor), Gabby, was telling me all about this sweet boy (Sebastian) in her calculus class and his friend (Ryan). Spoilers alert: she would end up marrying that cute boy and I would end up engaged to his friend. The first time I officially met Ryan was when I visited Gabby in Columbia, SC during our sophomore year of college. Ryan and Sebastian (then Gabby's boyfriend) came busting into her apartment holding Ryan's tiny kitten, Milo. If you know anything about me, then you know that a kitten is an automatic way into my heart. So I went back home to Charlotte, NC after that weekend and kept thinking about the cute boy with the kitten. Fast forward a year later, I decided to transfer to the University of South Carolina and came down to visit Gabby again and get to know the area. She was also hosting a Christmas party that weekend and invited me to attend. You'll never guess who I saw at this party. The cute boy with the cat (AKA Ryan)! So of course i had to ask him how his cat was, the conversation went from there, and as they say, the rest is history.

The first time I meet Emma was my sophomore year of college. I was going to visit my best friend Sebastian, when he let me know that Gabby's friend, Emma would be at her place. I instantly thought this would be a great time to introduce my new kitten Milo to Emma. I knew this would win her over (It did)! A year later Emma decides to come down to USC for a party that Sebastian and Gabby were hosting. The whole night I couldn't hide my crush on her and once we started talking I was obsessed and the rest is history.
