The more couples I meet the more I see that there is no "normal" way to meet people anymore. Well, kind of, as meeting online is probably the most popular way for a couple to meet. This is exactly how Colton and Madison met for the first time. They both swiped right. However, neither of them had ever met someone online before, so they didn't meet right away. In fact, it took months for them to decide to "go for it". If I remember the first place they met was at a Mexican restaurant.
Read MoreThey met in school. Both of them were training to be radiology tech's, and Rob saw a beautiful girl sitting in the class with an open seat next to her. So, being the charismatic, kind guy he is, he went and sat next to her. I asked him why he sat next to her, if it was because he thought she was cute or not, and he said "psh, absolutely!" - Rob had his eye on Shianne from day one.
Read MoreThey met in high school, freshman year. The thing about both Michael and Malinda that I found out during our shoot is they are both driven - they both work hard and are prepared people. What does this have to do with freshman year of high school? It means Malinda was taking 9 classes to everyone’s regular 8. It also means she had a huge pile of books in her hands as she walked to class. Michael, being the kind guy he is - and also thinking Malinda was pretty darn cute - asked her if she needed help. What a better way to start talking to the cute girl in class than to start out by being a gentleman?
Read MoreThey met online - as so many couples do these days. It was several years ago so the exact conversation isn't something that is remembered, but we do know Jared made contact first with some sort of cleaver quip. Kelly said something that stood out to her first was how funny he was, he made her laugh. Jared's first impression of her was how great looking she was, and thus, it drove him to look closer at her profile. She liked to eat frozen peaches - yeah. Anyway, so he messaged her, and they started to talk.
Read MoreThe first time they met Robbie was Caitlyn's EMT instructor (if I remember that right… he was an instructor of something). Anyway, Caitlybn said she never really thought of him "that way" and Robbie was in the same boat. They were just teacher/student. That said, Caitlyn would move away, and there would be no relationship there. When she moved back though they ended up being in a similar work group, and Robbie was no longer the "much older teacher" but rather the "slightly older funny guy" that was "quite cute". Even though they would spend more time together, it wasn't until they both volunteered to help at an event that they started to notice each other.
Read MoreCole and Nicky are two people I find myself really enjoying. Their conversation is lively, they laugh easily, and their smiles come quick. They have a joy for life - something i’m sure you are aware of. I loved getting to know them more during their shoot, hearing more about how they met (during their time at Eastern Washington University) and how that meeting changed their lives. They realized that the relationship they were in wasn’t like any other when Cole tore his Achilles (if I remember correctly). Achilles tears are some of the worst sports injuries someone could get because you basically can’t walk while it heals.
