“I was 16 and heading home from cheer practice when I realized I couldn't go another day without shaving my legs. I stopped by the grocery store to pick up a razor and ran into Alex, a friend of mine from school. Alex was picking up some groceries with his older brother John, who I felt an instant connection with. I reached out to Alex that night and asked him to play matchmaker. Sure enough, John was interested in me too! A week later we became official and have been inseparable ever since. Our relationship has now been going strong for 6 years. I couldn't be more thankful to have spent those years growing up with him, loving him, and being loved by him. Ladies, never forget that even in the most mundane places, you can find the love of your life.”
