NEW YEAR, SAME WEDDING

Derek and Stephanie officially met on Cinco de Mayo 2011. Derek had just gotten back from Stagecoach and was in the process of moving into his new place when his roommates convinced him to grab a drink to celebrate. After a very long weekend, going out and grabbing a drink was the very last thing Derek wanted to do. Reluctantly he tagged along. Stephanie was at a local bar with a few friends when she spotted a tall blue-eyed cutie in the corner looking absolutely miserable. She stared at him for a few seconds and realized she recognized him. Cute sushi waiter guy! Lauren's friend! Six months prior their mutual friend Lauren had briefly introduced them. Lauren was a college friend of Stephanie's and a co-worker of Derek's. With out skipping a beat (or thinking at all) Stephanie walked right over to him; pointed her finger in his face and exclaimed, "I know you!" Surprised and completely confused, Derek replied, "No you don't." ...And the rest is history.
