Our Story

Photos

Sarah's known My for so long that she has little to no memories of her life without My. They met in Kindergarten and have followed each other through essentially every major life event since then (including the best one yet, My's wedding)! Some of their best memories were the parties in My's parent's basement growing up (if you know, you know).  Sarah is fairly introverted, so even at an early age, she knew that My would be the extrovert she needed in her life. And, when My called her to rant about Kevin's intro message to her dating  prompts (jokingly), she knew he was perfect for her.

Carmen met My in high school, but they didn't become close friends until around 2014, when they both got selected for Buckeye Girls' State and spent basically the whole summer together! When they first met, Carmen liked My in biology, but was less of a fan of her in English; it wasn't until Carmen got to know My better, that she saw My for the superstar she is! As they were putting together their yearbook senior year, they got even closer; they got to abandon other responsibilities, reminisced on their senior year, hide photos of themselves on every page, and enjoyed each other's company!

Emma met My in accounting class during their Sophomore year at Ohio State. They ended up in a group together (with their friend Joe) for the entire semester - after My swooped in to ask Emma to join her group, knowing she was super smart. Spending almost every day together that semester doing homework, they bonded and quickly became friends. Even after that class, they spent almost every day together for the rest of college. It’s hard for Emma to remember a time at OSU without thinking of My. As for Kevin,  the first time they met him, My brought him out to meet all her friends (he’s a trooper!). He bought everyone vodka shots, and while honored, Emma was appalled at having to drink straight vodka. But immediately could tell that Kevin was funny, outgoing, and a great guy for My.  He always went out of his way to get to know her friends and spend time with the people she cares about. Emma is so excited to see them get married and to be a part of their big day!

Katie met My in 6th grade, after she was introduced to her by Sarah Bright, the Maid of Honor! Due to some middle school politics, Sarah and My were looking for a lunch table to join, they joined Katie's and the rest is history.  Katie remembers being amazed by My's kindness when they first met, and how she was able to have a conversation with anyone. My could always make a new friend, and make folks feel included.  Katie is so glad My ended up at her lunch table in 2010, with them being friends for over 16 years! Throughout the years, there's been many sleepovers and laughs and, of course, My's birthday parties at her parents' house! They usually included a delicious Dairy Queen ice cream cake, playing games with friends, selfies with our flip phones, 2010's hairstyles, and dancing to Jason Derulo in her basement. Everyone always had a blast and if there is one thing about My, it is that she knows how to throw a PARTY!

Chris has known Kevin since they were kids. Kevin claims Chris dumped milk on his school lunch when they first met, but even still they became close friends. They bonded over video games and were over at each other's houses frequently. They both went into Computer Science at OU and ended up working for the same company. Growing up together, they have plenty of memories, but most notable was the time they skated on the bike path in Athens. During this adventure, they were with Chris' sister, Liz, watching them. They somehow ended up on a different path than Liz, when Chris wiped out on some wet grass under a bridge and skidded several feet on his knee, tearing it all up. Blood everywhere! Meanwhile, Kevin hit a rock and wiped out. His face firmly smashing the pavement, he chipped his tooth and had whiplash (perhaps also some brain damage). Even with the injuries, they both laughed at their stupidity and the fact that Liz had to explain this to both of their moms.

Tyler has worked with Kevin at Nationwide for 7 years now. When they first met, Tyler's first impression of Kevin was that he was deeply unserious, a very chill person. This was further proven when Kevin used to wear a horse head mask in the office, very frequently. There’d be very serious and boring work going on, and a horsehead man in the middle of all of that. Tyler's desk was positioned just so it’d be in the corner of his eye all day!

Kevin and Jesse met at Nationwide, where they've worked together for several years. At work, Kevin would be known as a joker. One of the favorite running jokes was the Nationwide team nicknaming Kevin, "The Greek", since he was from Athens and he embraced it!
