We met at a mutual friend's backyard birthday party. I walked up to Emily and asked, "are you single?" and she replied, "No, I have been dating somebody since high school." I then replied, "that's never going to last."

Shortly afterwards, I was proven right and I continued my attempts to win Emily's affection. After a year of friendship and multiple schemes attempted, we began our relationship. Luckily, I was right and now ten years later we are getting married.
