Most people would say, "if Tom didn't have bad luck, he wouldn't have any luck at all" and for the most part, that reigns true. Whether it be pulling an allnighter and sleeping through his alarm for the exam the next morning, or getting locked out of his apartment and having to climb through a window on a regular basis...it often seemed that luck wasn't on Tom's side, but in the spring of 2011 when he enrolled in Accounting 201 at Purdue University, he caught the biggest break of his life. Miss Haley Elizabeth Melching walked through the door of that Accounting lecture hall, and Tom's luck changed forever. They both immediately noticed each other from across the room but didn't officially meet until Haley pointed him out at a party at the best fraternity house on campus, Sigma Phi Epsilon. After that initial meeting, Tom spent the next two years pining after her. He had an enormous crush on her but was too scared to do much about it, considering how far out of his league she was. It wasn't until their senior year when she called him over AGAIN to say hello at a bar that he had enough courage to speak up. He took a shot and made it clear that he liked her. Haley, being the sweet girl she is, gave him a chance. She was hesitant at first. She didn't know what to think about this mysterious east coast boy who only wore black T-shirts, but Tom kept persisting, coming up with any and every excuse to see her. After what some might consider the longest trial period a potential boyfriend has ever endured, and an enormous amount of persuasion from her close friends and family, Haley finally let her guard down. They started officially dating. 5 years, two cats, and one French Bulldog later, they're finally tying the knot.
