We first noticed each other in Ms. Trometer’s study hall—two shy teenagers stealing glances and thinking the other was cute, but neither brave enough to say it. A little later came our friend’s Sweet 16, where Taylor walked up to Michael and asked him to dance. Michael, far too nervous, politely turned her down (which we now laugh about!). It wasn’t until Taylor’s best friend’s birthday party that we finally had the chance to really talk—fittingly, as beer pong partners. We spent the whole night by each other’s side and shared our first kiss on a trampoline in the backyard, beneath the Big Dipper. From that night on, we were inseparable, spending every bit of free time together. Eventually, Michael looked at Taylor and finally asked her to be his girlfriend. And the rest, as they say, is history.
