He was a boy, she was a girl – can I make it anymore obvious?

Carson and Michael met while both working their first job as college graduates. What are the odds that a Gamecock North Augustan would cross paths with a totally-over-the-top-Georgia-Bulldog-loving Lincolntonian in such dreary a city as Columbia, SC?

For fate had plans of his own.

They worked together under grueling circumstances, but found that their friendship added a soft, comforting feeling to the work day. During the following months, their friendship status slowly evolved to best-friends, onward to super-friends, all leading up to the inevitable, very unpredictable, BFFLs.

But why stop there? He had love for her, and her for him.

“Why not ask her out?” Michael thought.

A horrible impromptu date effort followed:

With a $12.99 bottle of wine, a parking lot, and a 2020 RS edition Chevrolet Blazer sunroof fully ajar – they stared at the stars, listened to music, and kickstarted their way into a life of undeniable love, endless laughs, and unforgettable memories.
