How we met ( The Bride's side)

When a stranger calls

Spring of 2013 I decided i would be attending Reinhardt University. This place was new. I knew no one. I had no idea where I was, but it was beautiful and the classes were small. I was just a girl from Jefferson, Georgia. I went to a marching band orientation and met the girl who would become my roommate freshman year. I ended up spending a few weeks with her during the summer. Her phone rang and she sighed. She asked me to talk to him because she was already on the phone. After that day we talked non stop. We called and texted every chance we got. We still hadn't seen each other in person yet so on the fourth of July my roommate invited me up for a party, and I told Jake and he asked me to go out with him before the party. I was so nervous. I got in my car and started the 2 hour drive. then BAM!, major wreck. 3 hours passed and I was finally moving again. We decided to meet at a gas station, a pilot of all places. it was raining, the anticipation was killing me. I saw his car and I parked, I got out and smiled, he looked at me and smiled harder than I have ever seen and he immediately kissed me. The rest...well... the rest is history. I knew he was the one. I was done.
