We said yes!

Our sweet love story begins when we were just two young high school love birds. Nick and I met as young sixteen year olds in our sophomore high school English class. We sat at the same table, right next to each other in an ice cold portable classroom. As the flirty girl that I am, I asked Nick to help warm feetsies by sitting on them. He, being the kindhearted person he is, of course agreed. We became best friends instantly from that day forward. We spent every passing period talking, talked every night on our flip phone for hours, and filled all our time driving around our hometown listing to emo rock. After a few years of causing trouble and falling in love we chose different paths for our lives. Nick enlisted in the Marine Corps and went down to Twentynine Palms, CA. I went to college and our paths grew apart. Nick was then stationed in Japan, and we decided to go separate ways. Growing into adulthood, we both raised beautiful girls and grew as individuals. As they say, "if you let it go and it comes back, it was meant to be." Our love was always meant to be. Nick was then stationed in New York 8 years later and with the power of social media, a quick "Hey, hope you're doing well" quickly reignited our spark that had truly never left. A spur of the moment trip to New York solidified that our connection was still very real and that's when the count down to forever began!
