Our mutual best friend Ethan, introduced us in July of 2016 because he knew we would be friends. He said "you both are nerds so let's go to see a movie." We went to see Suicide Squad and then two days later went on our first date. James was the perfect gentleman and I thought there is no way that this perfectly nice, genuine, super intelligent and handsome man would ever be interested in me. I remember telling Alex (my now sister-in-law) that he is too nice for me while playing a very competitive game of words with friends with him on her bachelorette party weekend. A week later he introduced me to his family and a month later he was my date to my brother and best friend since I was 13 years old wedding. That was the day I knew I wanted him to be my forever date. Thank you Ethan for introducing us, and thank you Alex for convincing me that I deserved a great man. Now, on September 14th, we officially begin our forever.
