We met at a very different time in both of our lives, we really were just kids. Her best friend was dating my friend, and I was too naive to realize they were setting us up. One night, they had to go “run an errand” and asked me if I could stay and keep Meg company until they got back, as she was on her way over. We sat in Grandma’s Blazer and talked for what seemed like hours. I knew immediately that I loved her. In those early times we were fiery and dramatic but I love that we grew up together and have those memories good and bad. Now I can’t imagine living without her, she is my home. We are only now getting married but I know that we can weather anything life throws at us, because we already have.
I was on my way to meet my best friend after dance class, sweaty and in workout clothes. As I was walking up the driveway, instead of Kristin I found a handsome man waiting for me. We sat in the Blazer and talked for hours about everything. He made me laugh so hard my cheeks hurt and he didn’t get mad when I made fun of his purple shirt. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed, it was such a crazy time in my life - it was exactly what I needed. I called him the next day, I was so scared, and I even hung up on him after one ring. After he called me back, I knew we would spend our lives together. Over the years with all the craziness and happiness, he knew when to hold me up, and also when to let me grow. Because of everything we’ve been through our relationship is amazing. I can’t believe I’ve been in love with my Mr. Man for more than half of my life and we are finally tying the knot!
