Ellie and I met through mutual friends at our local Starbucks when we were 19, and quickly became the best of friends. Somehow, (I think it was Ellie's doing) we ended up taking a swing dance class together and spent the next year attached at the hip. Funny enough, even though we spent nearly every day together, it took over a year before we started dating. Our families often joke that we went from friends to fiancés, and I suppose they're right. We had always cared about each other, then one day we suddenly realized we were in love. Thankfully, we're still best friends, and more in love than ever.
We married when we were 21, (a couple of crazy kids) and have loved every minute of it. We took turns going to college shortly after we got married, each working so the other could focus on school. Ellie got her degree in psychology, while I studied communications. Ellie now helps children with autism and I work at a public relations firm in Seattle. Ellie is very much looking forward to being a full-time mom once we start our family.
