We first crossed paths in 6th grade science class, but it wasn’t until 7th grade band that I, Stefanie, started chatting with him every chance I got. Timmy, however, didn’t seem to pick up on my hints! I decided to let it go for a bit, but then we reconnected in 8th grade English, and I thought, “This is my chance!” My best friend Nicole (who’s also the Maid of Honor) gave him my number without my knowledge (because that's what teenage girls do), and we started texting NON-STOP. Finally, on October 10, 2012, he asked me to be his girlfriend in the school hallway, and we’ve been together ever since! Now, 13 years later, at 26 years old, we’re getting married, sharing our lives with three crazy dogs: Mandy, Blue, and Maple. I wouldn’t have it any other way!
