It was 2012, the last day of finals for their freshman year of college. Jen's sorority sister asked if she could give Nick her number, Jen agreed. During that summer break, they were 280 miles apart, had never met in person, but wrote to each other everyday as modern day pen pals. The conversations felt easy, like they were long time friends. Not only did they bond over their shared values and beliefs, but they were able to make each other laugh by poking fun at one another. They spent the rest of summer break looking forward to finally meeting each other in the fall. When Jen agreed to have her number passed along to Nick, she never could have imagined that 8 years later, he would be down on one knee, asking to spend the rest of their lives together.
