Russell and Macie met back in 2015 at a mutual friend get-together. Macie was thoroughly convinced that Russell was out of her league (what with being a hottie and having 3 years on her) [can you tell who is writing this?], so she didn't think much of anything. Through multiple gym sessions with those mutual friends and Macie proving she could ball with the boys, Russell starting paying more attention--but neither would make a move. Every weekend, all of the friends would hang out, and Macie seeing an opportunity, finally took the next step. Because she was going to Seattle one weekend and wouldn't be able to hang out with the gang, she messaged Russell on Facebook to tell him not to have too much fun without her. From there, they didn't stop messaging. Facebook messaging turned to phone numbers being exchanged, and texting turned to Russell asking Macie to go to one of their favorite local burger places (because they are super classy like that), D.Lish's. The rest is history. 6 years in, and they are finally tying the knot!
