Our Wedding

<p>One evening some roommates and friends of mine decided to go for a walk. I only made it to the parking lot before some guy pointed me out and yelled across the parking lot "Hey! Do you work at FORVIS?" I laughed, walked over to him, and we had a brief conversation in which we learned we work in the same office and live in the same apartment complex building. He seemed like a nice enough guy, but it was a rather professional encounter if you will - or at least as professional as it can be when one person is in a full suit and one is in athletic clothing and a messy bun. A couple weeks passed and yet again, I leave my apartment to go for a walk, but as fate would have it, this time I am alone. I make it out to about the same spot in the parking lot when Chandler appears walking towards me from the opposite direction. He asks me if I am going for a walk so I tell him yes - he then asks if he can join me. Not knowing how to say no, I said "sure". That walk became the first of many. About 2 months later, he finally worked up the nerve to ask me on a date. That date turned into a couple more and boyfriend he was. Now fiancé he is and well, I think you get the gist. </p>

How We Met: Elise's POV

<p>I came home after work one night, and went to check my mail in my apartment complex’s office. As I was leaving to head back to my apartment, I spotted this really cute girl who looked super familiar walking across the parking lot with some of her friends. I yelled out to her and asked if she worked at the same place I work, as I thought that I had seen her in the office before. As it turns out, it was in fact the girl from the office, so we introduced ourselves and she congratulated me on a recent promotion. We spoke for quite awhile (mostly about work) and things really seemed to click in our first conversation together. Most initial conversations with someone you’ve never met can be extremely awkward, however there was hardly any awkwardness at all. She seemed very kind and outgoing, but also very humble. After a couple months of being close friends we decided to start dating and very shortly into our relationship, we decided we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.&nbsp;</p>
