Ryan and I met years ago while working as lifeguards during the summer. I secretly had a crush on him for two summers, and our coworkers at the pool were convinced we should be together. After two summers of playful encouragement from our friends, Dani finally got Ryan to admit he thought I was cute. Every time he walked me to my car, the other lifeguards would watch on the security cameras, hoping to catch a hug or flirtation. Then, on Ryan’s last official day, he finally asked me on a date—and the rest is history.

She was my boss. Then she wasn’t. Now she’s my wife.
