Our Wedding

Her story:

Jack and I were in the same organization our first two years at Texas A&amp;M University. I had the pleasure of running into Jack a couple of times before I actually got to know him.&nbsp; First, I had him as a “target” in a game called assassins. My goal was to stalk Jack, try to find him on campus, and eventually shoot him with a rubber band.&nbsp;Completing these tasks led me to win the game. The next time I ran into Jack, he was coming out of his staff interview while I was waiting to go in. I hadn’t told anyone I was applying for staff of our organization and I also didn’t want anyone to know. I said to Jack, “don’t tell anyone you saw me”.&nbsp;He probably thought I was a weirdo. Lastly, just a few days after the staff interview, Jack and I randomly ran into each other on campus again and I awkwardly said “…do you want to get lunch together?” During this lunch I got to talk through all the anxiety and nerves I had about applying to staff, and who I would be partnered with, since he was the only one who knew.&nbsp;&nbsp; We both ended up making staff and because of these run-ins on campus, Jack was the only person I wanted to be paired up with. I told myself going into the partner reveal, I would be happy with anyone I got, even if it wasn’t Jack. If you can’t tell from the photo above, we got paired together (PTL) and I haven’t stopped thinking about him since.&nbsp;&nbsp; The year of being partners in our organization is where our story began.&nbsp; We didn’t realize we were romantically interested in each other until the beginning of our junior year of college, which was two years after first meeting. We started “talking” on August 10th, 2019; started dating September 1st, 2019; and Jack asked me to marry him on December 5th, 2020.&nbsp;&nbsp; Jack, I genuinely think I fell in love with you after the first minute of talking to you. I can’t wait to take your last name and leave my coffee cups in your sink every day. &lt;3

His story:

Tanner and I first met in a student organization at Texas A&amp;M. For the first couple of months we didn’t get to interact with each other very much, but we always had a great time whenever we got to see each other. Fast forward a couple of months to when we both got leadership positions in our organization and we actually got paired as PARTNERS! At this time we weren’t extremely close but we were both pumped to get to work together. For the next year, our relationship involved a lot of working, talking, laughing, and praying. I can’t think of a single memory from that time period that doesn’t give me goosebumps, and we weren’t even romantically involved yet. We learned how to love each other as friends, first. This was green flag number one. After our time working together in our student organization ended, I was working in Houston for the summer, and Tanner was working and taking classes at A&amp;M. One day, after a long day of work, I got a call from my best friend saying that he and Tanner were outside of my house in Conroe. This was a complete surprise and I wasn’t even mad that he woke me up from my post-work nap. We went to dinner that night and hung out with some other friends, and had a lot of fun. We all started meeting in Conroe and College Station almost every weekend. As we started hanging out more and more, I started to get really interested in Tanner. I thought I needed to hide it because I didn’t want anything to interfere with our close friend group, but I guess I’m not very good at deception. All of our friends knew that something was going on, and they were completely supportive of a potential relationship between me and Tanner. This was green flag number 2. At the end of the summer, I made a trip to College Station strictly to see Tanner. Neither of us can agree on what our official first date was, but this weekend is one of the strongest contenders. We both expressed our interest in each other, and a few weeks after that, we officially started dating. At this point, the green flags were all over the place. After about a year, I was already convinced that she was the one. I told my family that I wanted to marry Tanner, and they were as excited about it as I was. This was the last green flag I needed.
