It was snowing. And not pretty soft snow…that kind of snow that falls sideways and slaps you in the face. I was being extra fashionable so I had on flats with no socks or tights. Genius move on my part. I ran inside the Aon center as quickly as possible to head to the Starbucks where we had planned on meeting. As soon I walked up I saw the gate pulled over the windows and realized…crap…they were closed. So I immediately looked up Kyle’s phone number to call her and work out a plan B. I noticed it was a 317 number which is Indianapolis (where I’m from). We met up and walked through the underground maze to another Starbucks…of course talking about our matching area codes. Come to find out…not only do we share the 317…but we went to the same high school!!! We started talking about people we both knew…reminiscing about the good (or not so good, lol) ‘ol days. And from that moment on, I no longer felt like I was meeting with a potential bride…but just grabbing coffee with an old friend.
Kyle had told me about Bryan when we met…but meeting him and seeing them together for the first time just made sense. They fit perfectly together in every sense of the word. One picking up where the other stopped. Every smile and nuzzle and glance in the other’s direction just proved what I already knew to be true. These two were made for each other. Kyle and Bryan…I had such a blast with you guys and I seriously can’t wait for your wedding!!! Between Pike High School…our mutual love of 24 (Jack Bauer forever!)…and how much I love photographing you guys…I feel so lucky to call you friends!
