Our story began at a house party of a mutual friend. I was still honing my skills as a bartender and because my group knew this, they had me bartend the parties. Jessica arrived with another friend of ours in tow and was introduced to all of us. I remember Jessica enjoying a few of my FINELY crafted cocktails to the point to where her head was face down at the bar top. I asked her if she was ok to which she responded, “I’m fine” follow by a loud thud back on the bar top. Who would have thought a long friendship would follow. We would hang out together along with our other friends, and then it became just us two. When we attended the same college, we did everything together, even hanging out at a Target for no reason at all; little did we realize that an attraction was forming. Finally, when I moved into my first apartment, we shared our first kiss and it was as if the entire planet stopped moving on its axis. We never wanted that moment to end. Now look at us seven years later. In love and wanting to grow old together.
