How we met: Matt's Version

How we met: I’m sure there are some things in here I may be misremembering (just ask my future wife), however I will do my very best. It all started when I walked into my first class of the day at St. Mary’s University which was international business in the business school. I remember walking in and sitting in the chair closest to the door, and I remember Kendra walking in sitting in the center of the classroom. Now I had already seen Kendra around school and at Greek events and never really spoke to her. But I always thought she was beautiful, and way out of my league. She still is. But anyway, classes came and went and one day I worked up the courage to message her on Facebook to talk about class, to my surprise she messaged back. And from then on, we never stopped, daily talking about class and going to the library to study for class. I used to stay at the library until 1am to study with her, but the truth is I finished my homework by 6pm. We got to know each other more and more and eventually became best friends, and could not go a day without talking to her. I eventually got the courage to ask her out and from then on the rest is history...

Kendra's Version

We both met in college in one of our business classes. I knew who Matt was and he obviously knew who I was through Greek Life. Matt made the first move by messaging me on FB during class (we both had our laptops out) so as soon as that message popped in I was able to look at him and give him the *pay attention* look. The back and forth messages continues for some time, until finally SOMEONE asked for the others number. To this day we still don't know who that was. At the time Matt and I became very good friends and it stayed like that for a year. We both studied together, had projects together, and went to mutual college parties. We both had the understanding that we had feelings for each other but we couldn't be together at the time. Fast Forward---a decision was made and I told Matt (yes me I made the move) that I wanted to be with him. After a LONG LONG year and a half of being just friends we knew that we wanted to be together! Now keep reading below to hear Matts version... PS: If you want the real good juicy story reach out to Groomsman #2 Angel he'll tell you how it really happened ;)

For all the days along the way
