How We Met: Alyssa's Version

Festival Love

I first met Jake at EDC music festival laying alone in the grass and thought to myself "damn". I never in a million years thought he would go for me but I took a chance (aka I made the move). We clicked instantly. The butterflies were real and they haven't left since. Just listening to him speak about his future and how smart he was blew my mind. Never thought I would meet someone who truly had it all: goal oriented, passionate, handsome, funny. From the moment we met I felt like I knew him my entire life. I later found out we always crossed paths before this moment in both middle school and high school! The timing was finally right. Since day one, Jake has allowed me to be my goofy, weird self with not one ounce of judgement. He is my best friend, my first and last love - my person. Truth is, I fell completely in love with him the first moment I laid eyes on him.

Love at First Sight

Alyssa and I met at EDC. This sounds like I'm exaggerating but when we had our first conversation I knew I was in love. I had never met someone before that was so driven and passionate about their future. It was something I was always looking for, and her beauty was just the cherry on top. We talked all night, and the next day the only thing I could think about was being with her again. We spent the entire next day together, and it was absolutely perfect. We shared conversation about our interests and passions in life. I could picture us doing everything together, growing old together, and I wanted exactly that to happen. The day after that I sent her a text and she didn't reply for 3 days. I thought my dream girl had gotten away, but she called me the next day saying she got sick and we set up our first official date. There is nothing more in life that I crave than to be around her. The feeling I got brought back the happiness and spark in my life. The rest is history, I still feel the same way 8 years later, and I can't wait every single day when she walks back in the front door to give me a kiss.
