We initially met at a mutual friend's birthday party, where we awkwardly and barely spoke to one another. I vividly remember that Evan was very funny and kind to me that day. At the end of that night, Evan told his friend that I would drive him home, and it was then that I (Gabby) caught feelings. It took about a month of my trying to make small talk during band practices and catching small glimpses of him in the band room before anything ever occurred from this. Then, on Halloween night, we both were at a mutual friend's party, where I REALLY tried my best to flirt and speak with him. The next day, November 1st, Evan and I were supposed to go to an away football game with the pep band together when Evan forgot his instrument at home (he did not go to the game because of this). Then, at the game, my friends around me pressured me to send him a text over Snapchat and confess my feelings. Little did I know that he was doing the EXACT same thing at the same time! So, I (Gabby) confessed I had a crush on him, he said he did too, and November 9th rolled around when we went on our first date, and later became our anniversary. Almost 7 years later, and here we are, getting married! Highschool sweethearts forever <3
