“John and I met in the summer of 2011. I was living in Long Island and he lived in Eastern Kentucky. I went to school with his cousin and she invited me to come visit her family over summer break. There was John sitting at her kitchen counter as I came running through the door excited that you could legally buy fireworks in this state. On the last day of my visit, John asked me for my number. I thought he was crazy to try and pursue this, but I gave it to him anyway. Well after 11 months of long distance, my dad drove me down south on the day I graduated college and dropped me off in Kentucky. Two apartments, three cats, and one dog later, we have never been more in love. We were married at a local winery this past past May and cannot wait to see what the future has in store for us.”
