For those that have known William and I for years, you know that we first met back in 2003/2004 at Mel' Bowling Alley. I was paired with his sister for our bowling league and William and his parents were there every Saturday. We had some of the same friends over the years, but I mainly stuck with friends from Notre Dame. It wasn't until the summer of 2011 that William and I became more than friends. He had just come back from Arizona State and I was still going to college locally and we started hanging out with the same friend group again, which included my brother Brian. One summer BBQ, some flirting, and William began to text me. Now we are just about 8 years later into our adventure and ready to walk down the isle!
