Five years ago today, a cute boy took a young girl on their second date.
They drove down to the beach and sat on the sand in the moonlight. The boy grabbed the girl's hand and said to her, "I don't know why, but this just feels right. Will you be my girlfriend?" Of course the girl said, "Yes."
364 days later, the same boy grabbed the same girl's hand, and as he got down on one knee, he said, "We've been dating for a year now, and it's been the best year of my life and I want that to continue, so...Will you marry me?" Instead of "yes," the girl answered, "OF COURSE!"
Almost eight months to the day later, the boy and girl held hands as they promised to love and honor each other until death.
Over the next five years, they held hands as they honeymooned in Nashville...
...moved into their first apartment together...
...bought their first house...
...and had their first baby.
They've celebrated holidays...
...and anniversaries...
...and simply just being in love.
They've been on some amazing trips together...In Atlanta for Sunday Funday
Talladega
In Nashville for the Keith Urban/Sugarland concert
On the Riverwalk in New Orleans
Lakers v. Hawks in Philips Arena
Talladega...again
Washington, DC
...and hung out with some amazing friends.
At the Montgomery Zoo for Christmas lights
Tacky Christmas party with my favorites
And now the boy and girl are holding hands as they begin the next chapter of their life together...
What's their secret?
They're madly in love with each other.
They're best friends.
And they've never stopped holding hands.
I love you, Ben!
And they've never stopped holding hands.
I love you, Ben!
