“My fiancé and I met in middle school. I remember just looking at him irritated me and I didn't even know why. One day we were arguing and disrupting class, so our punishment was we had to sit next to each other. After a couple weeks of this, we started flirting and not too long after that we started dating. We were each other's first true love and although we were young, we fell hard and quick. We made a pact that no matter where life took us, someday we would find our way back to one another when the time was right and be together forever. At the end of 8th grade, I moved and naturally we lost touch due to the distance and our young age. However, as promised, we found our way back to each other as we got older and picked up right where we left off. Six years and two beautiful daughters later, we truly held up to the pact we made 11 years ago. We still flirt like we're in 8th grade and feel so lucky that we got another chance at our relationship.”
