Our Story
How we met, and how we came to be planning our big day..
Seven years ago, my freshman year of high school... I needed a ride home from school because, of course, I wouldn't ride the bus! Kelly was driving his sister, Meghan, and my friend Jill home and Jill asked if he could drive me home. Of course, the nice guy that he is, he said yes. I had never met him before, and not much was said except hello and thank you.
A day or so later, he stopped me in the hall to ask if I needed a ride home again. I, of course, did so he said he would be happy to take me home. I don't think I stopped smiling for the rest of the day..
The next day, he asked if I was going to the basketball game that night. I was. He said he would try to go after hockey practice. I went to the game and couldn't stop staring out into the hallway to see if he was out there yet. He finally arrived and I went out to talk to him. We never even went into the game because we talked through most of it and then we went outside to the soccer game. Since it was October, it was cold so we didn't stay out long. Walking back inside he grabbed my freezing cold hand to warm it up.
That was October 14, 1999. It hadn't even been a week since we met, but it felt like we had known each other forever. From that day on we were inseparable!!
