Our story actually begins back in 2015 at a mutual friend’s 16th birthday party. My friend (and now groomsman), Spencer, and I were playing corn hole in the backyard. After what felt like hours of playing, a beautiful blonde and her friend walked up ready to play. I found out the girl was named Claudia. After lots of small talk, Spencer and I won the corn hole game 21-0. Sorry Clauds.

The next day, at good ole Cherokee High School, I asked my friend for Claudia’s phone number where I officially asked her out on our first date. The date started off great! There was never a dull nor quiet moment between us two social butterflies. (However, Claudia did order a steak ‘well’ done.... That in itself might have been a deal breaker, but at that point, Claudia’s beautiful blue eyes had already captivated me.) Then came my choice for the movie.. and that's when things went downhill. I chose the movie Ted. What was I thinking? If you know Claudia, you know that she is truly an angel sent from above... and there I was picking the most vulgar and atrocious movie I could have ever chosen. Unfortunately for me, Claudia decided my movie choice for our first date night was my downfall.

Throughout the following years, we luckily stayed in touch here and there. But I feared Claudia had already made up her mind on me. (,:
