Our Wedding

Brendan and I met in college in 2019 through a psychology course. I have to admit the first few encounters with him had me annoyed. This is because he would walk into class on a test day, look around at the rest of us frantically studying, and then ask me, "Do we have a test today?". In my mind I would think, "This kid is crazy and going to fail". He would then come in the next day and ask me what grade I got. I would normally respond with an 80-85 and ask him what he got. He would then say, "A 97 or 101". How the heck he got bonus points is something I still wonder. These conversations happened throughout the rest of our semester and he never failed to get the best grade in the class without a second of studying... let's just say I hope our kids get his smarts;)Flash forward to the Fall of 2020 when Brendan asked me to come over to his house and hang out. As I walked in, I instantly thought, "What am I getting myself into? He's a typical college boy". This thought came to me as he lived with a close friend and their decorations included empty liquor bottles that were lined up on every shelf and LED lights to make the room light up. Although that was my first thought, I was far from right. As Brendan and I got to know each other we stayed up for four hours getting to know one another and laughing. As I got ready to leave he walked me out to my car and left me with an awkward side hug. A side hug that I still make fun of him for today.As time has gone on we've grown to support each other, love each other, and give full hugs;) We bought our first home and continue to make the best memories.
