#1. Eric & Patty

" We met in High school, we had no interest in each other our only connection
was soccer, we would actually skip class sometimes and a lot of friends and I
would go to the soccer fields and play soccer. I moved schools and lost
contact with everyone. After I graduated, I stayed in touch with mutual
friends, and January 2010 we reconnected on the amazing social page FACEBOOK.
He gave me his number and to my surprise I still had his number under "Brother
Eric". We texted and texted, and finally met up to have ice cream, and within
weeks I fell head over heels. We could just connect in so many ways and I had
realized this is who I needed/wanted this whole time, we wasted no time and
got married September 22, 2011/ in between our birthdays my birthday is 9/21 his
is 9/23. :) It’s not a romantic love story, but it sure does show you, you
never know who you will fall in love with :) "

#2. David & Ana

" Where can I start with David and I? We actually have two beginnings... I guess a pre-beginning and a beginning. Our pre beginning started when I was a sophomore at Hastings and David was a senior. I had seen him around school and thought he was the cutest thing ever. But he never saw me. Until one day we were dared to kiss... we kissed… and that was the end of it... David went on to graduate ... I went on with my high school life... It wasn't until 5 years later that we got reconnected again by my awesome friend Laura. I saw David on her MySpace and I was like OMG your friends with David? And she's like yea why? I'm like I just had the biggest crush on him in high school...and she said well come to my birthday party this Saturday and I'll make sure he'll come. I didn't think much of it until that night she called me and said well aren’t you coming? I said No I can't it's too late my mom would never let me go out this late... she's said we'll he's waiting for you. I said well the only way would be if I snuck out but I can't get my car ... she's said we are on our way lol... So that night I snuck out and I re-met the man that I call my love... We have had our ups and downs ...but mostly ups ... He's the center of my world… we complete each other... We can actually have conversations without the other one saying a word ... I know him better then he knows himself and vice versa... He's is the mellow calm How's it hanging kind of guy and I'm the always on the move get out of my way kind of girl... He stops to smell the roses ... I'm in front telling him to cut the flower and lets go we have sooo much to do ... It’s funny because our dogs have that same personality Chacho is like me and Stella is like David... We've been together for the last 5 years... God only knows what he has in store for us... But as long as we hang on to him and each other... we can take on THE WORLD ;D "

#3. Matt & Brittany

" Matthew and I met 4 years ago as juniors in high school. We had a similar circle of friends but it was not our time. We went out separate ways but soon enough our paths crossed and here we are 7 months later and going strong. The best part about being with Matt is that he adds spice to my life. We are so very different in every way but I believe that is what makes us so compatible. I push for him to make great strides in his life and he pushes me to relax and have fun. We have our rough times but we work extremely hard in order to make things work and we strive to be as happy as possible. I move to San Antonio in August and we are going to be together long distance but we can make it, we will make it. Our love is strong and I have faith in it. "

#4. Henry & Maria

" Henry and I met my sophomore year in high school, September 2002. He was the
new kid and I was the over friendly person that had to get to know everyone.
I pretty much invaded his person bubble and made him be my friend. We
quickly became best friends. I am just lucky to be able to call my husband
my best friend. After 6 years of fun, tears, love, hate and more love we got
married, and April 18th, 2008 was one of the 3 best days of my life. In our
case opposites *definitely *attract we were each other’s missing puzzle
pieces. I know what he needs to keep going everyday and he knows me better
than I know myself. It’s been almost 9 years since I met my love and each
day I fall deeper in love with him. With God on our side we know that
together we can face anything. Not a day goes by that I am not wishing I was
in my Sailors arms where I belong. However, duty calls. "

#5. Charles & Lindessley Brown

" Well me and my hubby were in a computer class together in the 9th grd. he sat a person away from me. We really didn't talk but he was my hero when my computer would freeze in our computer class. We saw each other in the halls throughout our high school years but we never really clicked, sparked... until... One day 3 yrs later I was crossing the cafeteria and he was going the opposite way... Don't ask me how or why, but it was very different. We saw each other and said hi, did the typical Hispanic thing gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, and bam. You know how they say you feel butterflies in your stomach, goose bumps on your arms and just it was pretty hard to let go. It was incredible. But as weird as it was, we said good bye and walked off. So the last time we had really talked was in the ninth grade, and had seen each other in a high school of thousands of kids, not to mention we hadn't talked in three years. I couldn't get him off my mind, but here's the worst part I couldn't remember his name. gosh! I thought of our mutual friends that might know him but no one knew who I was talking about. So, eventually when I had lost all hope of seeing this mystery guy that gave me goosebumps, I get put on the spot in my government class. You and that guy are going out he says I'm like no I have no guy I don't know who you're talking about and his like d, I saw y'all in the cafeteria, and still confused neglected and said stop playing. and finally, the light bulb clicked on my head, and said, what you know him, whats his name again. wow, I felt hope was in the right place again. I was like can you give him my number, please. I got a better out come I got a visit from him the next day :) and he swept me off my feet literally. we have been together 6 years and a daughter later still much in love. I thank God, who would have thought a person who just come to my rescue for a computer freezing would in a later time become my prince charming. so that's my story. "

#6. Aaron & Mary

" Aaron and I were introduced by a mutual friend. He went to High School with
her and I went to Business College with her. The first week of school she
(Angie) she asked me to come to a party with her so I could meet her friend.
"You guys sound exactly alike when you talk. You like the same music, watch
the same movies, say the same things - it's weird!!" At first I didn't want
to meet him. I had just moved to that city for school and still had a
boyfriend "back home". So I passed... Well, after me and the BF called it
quits a few months later she asked again... I agreed.
It was January 1995 and there was a blizzard (central Ohio will do that to
ya!) but we still made plans to go out. As it turned out we had a LOT of
things in common - starting with our friend, Angie, and ending with our last
names! Mine was Stevens and his is Stephens. Nifty! We ended up spending the
entire weekend together and have been together ever since. There have been
times when I have been soooo mad at him, but I still loved him right through
it. I know I have made him crazy as well. It's like they say - "all's fair
in love and war"!
He has been my best friend when even I couldn't be a friend to myself, he
has always supported me in whatever crazy thing I wanted to do (most
recently by sending me to school so I can live my dream of photography), and
he has always been honest with me even when I didn't like it. If the truth
hurts, do something different! I love that we have inside jokes, and that we
remember the same things so completely differently. His surprises and off
the wall comments are always unexpected and AWESOME!

As you can see by the pic we need some help! I may be a photographer, but it
sucks to set the timer and run into the scene and try to look natural. The
only pics we have of ourselves as a couple are either from our wedding or
were taken as a snap at whatever random event we were attending. A nice
portrait session would be a good thing ESPECIALLY seeing as how we have both
lost some weight and no longer wear glasses... THINGS HAVE CHANGED! LoL!

Anyway, I wish I had time to write a more sappy lovey dovey story about us -
I'm sure there's one in there somewhere, but this will hafta suffice. He
knows I love him and that's what's important! <3 <3 "
