"Jordan and my older brother have been best friends since they were in 1st grade. One of my first memories is playing Hot Wheels with Jordan and kissing him on the cheek, to which he got mad and said "If you kiss me one more time, I'm going home!" I continued to have a crush on Jordan as we grew up. I went away for college and it wasn't until after I graduated that Jordan and I reconnected. We both went solo to a mutual friend's wedding and we spent the night laughing and dancing together. I expected Jordan to contact me after the wedding, but he never did. I was confused and felt rejected but eventually accepted that he just wasn't interested in me. According to Jordan, it took him a while- 8 months might I add- to build up the nerve to talk to my brother about wanting to date me. He was so worried that it would hurt their friendship, but my brother was actually very accepting of the idea. Then, shortly after that, a group of our mutual friends went camping for 4th of July weekend. Jordan and I were walking through the woods when he stopped me and nervously confessed that he had feelings for me. I then told him that I had liked him for a very long time. We were both equally shocked. We then shared our first kiss and it immediately started to rain- it was straight out of a movie! We were engaged 10 months later and married 5 months after that. We took engagement photos with fireworks to symbolize the 4th of July weekend that changed everything."
