How Our Love Story Began

Last Minute Invite

Nina, and one of her Bridesmaids, Emilie, used to get together every college break. This specific time was winter break. A few of their friends got together at Emilie's college apartment. Emilie had recently started dating Jonah and Nina had not met him yet. He drove 2 hours to see Emilie for the weekend and when he finally got there everyone was asleep except Nina. So, Nina and Jonah just hung out and talked for a couple of hours. He said to Nina, "Emilie and I had a get-together in the summer at my mountain house and we are having another one in a couple of weeks, you should come". Nina actually had to ask someone to cover multiple shifts in order to go. Nina made Emilie give her a low-down of who was all going because she would only know 3 people out of 20. Ethan's name was not even mentioned. At the time Ethan did not know if he could make it and he decided last minute to go. Ethan had met everyone at the summer mountain house trip and had no idea who Nina was. Quickly after arriving, they both realized they went to Bloomsburg University when the majority of everyone there either went to Temple or IUP. Nina didn't find out that he and Jonah were BROTHERS until a day into the weekend. Apparently, Ethan asked Emilie if Nina was single and she replied "very single". The next day they all took a trip to go skiing. Nina had never been skiing before and everyone went off in their pairs and she was kinda lost. Ethan saw this and decided not to leave her side the whole day and basically taught her how to ski. They were attached at the hip for the rest of the weekend and had their first date a week later. And the rest is history... Four years later and we still have mountain house trips and we're so happy Nina met her friend's boyfriend's brother <3
