Our story begins in the 7th grade. We grew up together, often hanging out outside of school. It wasn't until our sophomore year of high school that Thomas finally worked up the courage to ask McKenna on a date to a hockey game. Unfortunately, because McKenna and Thomas had been good friends prior, McKenna didn't realize it was an actual date. Thomas wasn't discouraged though. He made it a point to ask her out in the most obvious, public way possible (to avoid any rejection in the moment). After asking McKenna to be his girlfriend, Thomas avoided her for the whole day so she couldn't have a chance to back out of the relationship! Thankfully, McKenna was elated to be in a relationship with Thomas. Since that time, we have graduated high school and college, started our first jobs, and continued to grow with one another. We can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together.
