I met Christy seven years ago, on move in day at the University of Illinois. Her dorm room was right across the hall from mine, which made it easy to become fast friends. Soon we started rolling with the same crowd, affectionately dubbed the "Walrus Loungers". A few months into the semester, Christy and I decided to become part of a roommate swap and move in together--and it was definitely one of the best decisions I made that year! Our friendship grew over the next four years, and one day our senior year, after quite a bit of heckling from our group, she brought Ryan to an event. I've been blessed to enjoy the company of both Christy and Ryan since then, and it's hard to believe that they've been dating for four years now! Ryan has become such a part of our little Walrus Lounge family, and such a great friend to my husband and I, that sometimes I forget he wasn't there with us when Christy and I met that fateful moving day in 2007. I'm so excited to watch them marry this fall, and even more excited to watch their love grow more over the upcoming years :). |
