Our Wedding

The first birthday gift I ever gave Andrew was a punch in the face. In my defense, he was supposed to block. (Also, it was at Kung Fu Club, where we met.) A little over a month later, he asked me out over a crumbling gluten-free burger. Our first date was on my 18th birthday.

Anna's Story: How We Met

After my birthday-face-punch so graciously gifted by Anna, she and I began talking more and more through group chats and direct messages. We sent each other memes and cute pictures of otters, sloths, or penguins. I once sent her a video of the combustion of mercury thiocyanate (it's a cool reaction!) and a mutual friend accurately described sending a chemistry video as flirting. After about a month of these types of interactions, I still didn't realize that there might be something between us. It took multiple people asking me "Hey so what's going on between you two?" and aggressive prodding to go ask her out before I finally did end up asking her out over a crumbling gluten free burger. (Said gluten free buns have been since switched out for non-crumbly homemade brioche buns)

Andrew's Story: Oblivious to Anna's Crush (and to my own)

Some highlights:- Writing with our feet in Anna's apartment instead of going to the President's Ball (basically college prom)- Refusing to pronounce basic words correctly. (Ask Andrew what the food made by pouring batter on a griddle is called.)- A summer of writing letters back and forth when Anna worked at a summer camp in the U.P.- 3 am Skype calls. (Well, 3am for him. Anna was in Tanzania.)- an ever-growing list of bizarre traditions- a probably-unreasonable number of memes shared between the two of us, most of which have no business being funny- way too many retellings of "the genie joke." (If you don't know what that is, ask Anna. She'll be delighted to share.)
