Kelly and I met in our senior year of high school. For 3 years, we went to school right across the street from one another, but we had never met prior to Camden (one of Kelly's longest friends and bridesmaids) introducing us.
The first time we met was for dinner in downtown Birmingham, MI. Kelly arrived before I did (this has not happened since) and I said, "Sorry for running a few minutes late." Kelly introduced herself by mumbling under her breath saying, "Don't let it happen again." Hardly a love at first sight moment, but the sense of humor and fire she had then is still ever-present to this day and one of the many reasons we are each others best friend.
Over the years, our relationship has taken us from Michigan to New Hampshire to Scotland to New York. It has made us stronger and has allowed both of us to know that we were meant to spend the rest of our lives together.
