Our Wedding

We both started college during covid, so we weren't allowed to sit close to other people in class. It was an 8:00 am class, and I (Taylor) was nervous about the stickers on my laptop for some odd reason. I began to look around at other students, hoping that someone else had stickers. I found someone with a bunch of stickers on their laptop, and I looked up to find an extremely handsome, kind looking guy. It was Jack. After class, I (Taylor) went up to the professor to talk about class accommodations, and I realized the cool tall guy with the stickers is standing right behind me. I started to freak out, rushed through my conversation with the professor, and then I immediately left. We didn't speak until we were in another class together and got assigned to a group project. The first time we met up as a group, our other group member bailed last minute. So, it was just Jack and me. He offered me a bite of his food because he's sweet, but I declined because of covid reasons. However, I still think about that chicken sandwich because it looked goooood. Anyways, we hit it off, but I had a boyfriend at the time. I planned on just getting to know him as a friend, and my friend group had an extra spot for someone to come axe throwing, so I invited Jack. We were having a great time. We both matched each other's competitiveness and sense of humor, but come to find out, Jack thought I had invited him out romantically. He didn't realize I had a boyfriend until the end of axe throwing, and then he distanced himself from me to be respectful of my situation. I didn't know that he thought it was a date until a while later. Eventually, my boyfriend at the time and I had broken up. So, I reached out to Jack to see if he wanted to come have a game night and play the Wii. He agreed. He then came over and I'm pretty sure he beat me in every game we played. Specifically, I really sucked at Wii boxing. Then we kept texting for a while and hanging out to work on our group project. We finally decided to hang out again and play some basketball. We played around the world, and I beat him. Then he was so sweet and asked if I wanted to go to dinner. We went to Tony's pizza on Dickson, where of course he wouldn't let me pay for the meal. I remember sitting down first and then Jack sat down right next to me. It was sweet. We still always sit next to each other. After pizza, we didn't want the night to end, so we walked to the square to look at the Christmas lights. On the walk there, we were offered laced candy canes from a street Santa Claus. We both declined and laughed about it later. I loved how I could be silly with him. Then when we made it to the square, there was another odd Santa Claus, singing drunkenly. Jack bought me hot chocolate, and we sat down on a bench to take in all of the lights. Of course, neither of us could just sit and look at the lights, so we ended up counting how many cowboys were at the square that evening. There were a lot there that year! At this point, I was still hesitant to think that this was anything more than a friendship, but then he put his arm around me. Oooowee the butterflies!! The night didn't end there though. We went back to my dorm and watched my favorite Christmas movie of all time, The Grinch. He was a perfect gentleman the whole night and ended the night with a kiss. It was one of those fairy tale, fireworks booming, life changing kisses. Then he told me goodnight and left. I later found out that he was trying to "leave me wanting more," which is so dorky and charming. Anyways, we've been together ever since, and I wouldn't change it for a thing. &lt;3
