We used to take FedEx boxes and cobble them into tables on which to eat Indian food takeout, watch Marble Hornets (a years-long YouTube series about the Slenderman) for hours on end, share mutual stories of ghostly activity in our bedroom, and just talk and laugh about our lives together."

I'm truly honored to be his groomsman."

I can’t wait to recreate the fun we had again in August when she gets to marry the love of her life!"
