Our Wedding

Braden and I met online in October 2019 by him ACCIDENTALLY sending me a heart (I'll always be very grateful he did not know how to use social media well!). We made jokes about it and eventually starting learning more about each other. We both went to Marshall, he sent me pictures of his dog Klauss, we had a lot of the same interests (The Office, Star Wars, and lots of other nerdy things). Conversations were never forced and it was never awkward talking to him. Our new "friendship" became more and more and one day I asked to call him. He told me no, he wanted to hear my voice for the first time in person. We set a date to meet before my classes at our on-campus Starbucks (a place I would later find out he hates, but went for me). Our first date/meeting in person for the first time was one of the coldest days of the month. Why do I add that? Because the first time I met my sweet future husband he was wearing shorts in windy 40 degree weather shivering outside the Starbucks waiting on me. I should also add, I'm always early so I got there 15 minutes before our scheduled meeting time.... he was there 30 minutes before. Needless to say I was flattered and impressed. We sat down and got into conversation immediately. This was my first date ever with someone I hadn't known prior through a friendship or school. I had heard horror stories from friends about how awkward it could be or how there would be no spark. Wow, we were the opposite. We talked the entire time, butterflies in our stomachs but so happy we finally could talk to each other face to face. When it came time for me to go to class, truthfully it took everything in me not to skip and just stay there with Braden for the rest of the day. Best date ever.
