Samantha and Aaron met as kids, in the 8th grade (2007), at Marston Middle School. As they got to know each other, they just so happened to develop a huge crush on one another! But alas, as still somewhat young children, dating was out of the question. So they spent their whole 8th grade year knowing that they had a crush on each other, but were not allowed to do anything about it; at least not romantically. They did however enjoy spending lots of time together at school, and became very close friends. Flash forward to the year 2020; after different high schools, college, starting careers, and growing up into new people they realized the crush they had on each other as kids had never completely died and decided to give actual dating a real shot. Trying out this dating thing as adults was actually working out pretty well! It didn't take long after for them to realize even after all this time, it was simply meant to be. And they fell in love. It sounds like something that came out of a movie, but this time, it's not. It's just our lives. And this is our story. Some may think it's cliché, but we wouldn't have it any other way! (And yes, we made that rhyme on purpose. You're welcome)
