“I told you not to fall in love with me.” – A Walk to Remember

Yes, I just quoted one of the most sappy movies in the world. That movie that most girls cry over and guys hate (and at least shed a tear or two over. Don’t lie, I know you did). That is the quote that my mind was directed to after hearing Sarah and Dave’s story, though I’m quite happy that it wasn’t nearly for the same reasons.

Sarah is a strong woman, very driven in what she wants, and what she wanted was to travel and teach French. She has visited many different countries already, in fact, she’ll be visiting Europe again within the next few months! She even came up with a quirky thing to do when visiting other countries, and made a facebook page for it. I’ll share that later .

Dave on the other hand, while driven, is quite the laid back gentleman. In fact, when Sarah first met him, she had put him in the “friends” category due to his laxness on his shaving habits. She was absolutely shocked when he showed up at her door step with a shaved face after she agreed to go out on a date. She said, “That was when I knew I could go through with it, I could be in a relationship with this man. He was so handsome!”

Then later came the part where that quote got stuck in my head. She told him that she didn’t think he should pursue her, simply because she had no idea where she would end up. It was her last year of college and she wanted to travel, possibly even move abroad. That didn’t stop him though, he stuck through it the entire time she was gone. Even when she came back, they managed to keep the relationship alive through a 3-4 hour commute! That is dedication in my book.

You both worked hard for this, and it’s obvious how much you love each other. I’m so happy you decided to include me as part of your big day!
