High school sweethearts since 9th grade when he let her go in front of him in the lunch line on her first day. He joked with her about the food, told her which lunch lady to sugar talk for extra scoops, and asked her to sit with him.

She fell in love with his eyes at first, but when he asked her to prom a few months later, she knew he was the only one she ever wanted to dance with for the rest of her life. 

He said he knew she was the one the moment he laid eyes on her. He was just patiently waiting until she caught up with him.
