The day was October 28, 2006. We both attended a Halloween party of mutual friends. And, I almost didn't go.* The costume I had planned to wear proved to be be way too trashy for my comfort level and I didn't think I had anything else. My best friend told me to, "just throw something on and come over." So, I did.

Our first date was on Halloween, that following Tuesday. We went to a Ben Folds concert in Fort Worth.
Our first photo was taken on St. Patrick's Day. (No, we didn't spend those first holidays together. He went home to Baton Rouge to see his parents.)

And, the wedding was on August 30, 2008!
*Isn't that always the story? The girl had to get drug out by her friends? Or she almost didn't go? Single girls, take note, you'll never meet anyone while sitting at home.
**I do have a funny story about getting ready for this trip. Remind me to post about it.

What a cute story :-) I agree that being able to travel together says a lot about whether or not you'll make it as a couple. My husband and I drove 14 hours to his home in Georgia, then turned around and drove back 4 days later. I remember thinking, "If we still like each other after this, then that's a good sign!"
