The year was 2011 and the setting was the choir room at Pleasant View Middle School. It was....not love at first sight! Emma was in 8th grade and evading taking gym class and Aaron was the 7th grade heartthrob (get out the cougar jokes now.)
Flash forward to band camp 2013, and a bucket of very cold water, we have the first attempt at a relationship. This is short lived because, well they were teenagers. Two more attempts in high school and the start of the infamous zoo curse later, Aaron and Emma part ways for two years.
Everything changes in 2017 when they reconnect at none other than Ohio University. Aaron was living in Gamersfelter Hall, the very same one Emma spent her freshman year (and subsequently a good chunk of her sophomore.) It didn't happen right away, but the two decided to give it the old college try while at a wedding for Emma's family. Although Emma was quoted saying "never again Aaron Demoss" in 2015, the rest has been history. They have been inseparable and truly complement each other. They have built a lovely life together with their two dogs, Dexter and Mojo-Jojo, and two sugar gliders, Jillian and Stevie.
They are excited to start this new chapter of their life and are overjoyed to party it up on their wedding day surrounded by friends and family!
