Phil and Sarah's Wedding

About

His side of the story:

While we had a lot of the same friends and were both education majors (at the time) we hadn't met until a mutual friend invited us both to play sand volleyball. It was there that Sarah fell into my arms... literally. Jason James, a friend from the football team picked her up and said, “Hey Phil, catch.” And there she was. I just got this funny feeling about her, might have been all the sand on her, or the fact that she was super cute. Probably the latter though. After sand volleyball, a group of us went back up to her room to hang out, where we hit it off. We had similar likes and dislikes, including movies (she DOESN'T like chick flicks) or so she didn't at the time. It was a week later that I was home in Hastings, and she in Ft. Calhoun. We were talking on the phone with each other when she introduced me to her best friend, Kayla. Kayla asked about me a bit and how I'd been hanging with Sarah and came to the conclusion, “sooo you guys are dating?” I said well sure, it was then that Kayla prompted me to make it facebook official, and a little over 3 years later, we’re engaged and ready to get married!!

Her side of the story:

It was freshmen year of college and one of my good friends, Megan A., had invited me and some of my girl friends to play sand volleyball. My roommate and I went out to the court and we both noticed the football guys right away, but I particularly noticed one. I knew I hadn’t met him before so I stuck around the people I did know while I kept my eye on him. Before I knew it volleyball turned into “Sarahball” and my friend, Jason James, had picked me up and decided to throw me to his friend, Phil with a, “Hey Phil, catch.” And I’m sure glad he did-(unlike another guy who had a little too much to drink that night and when I was thrown to him we both crashed to the sand.)
After volleyball we invited everyone to our room to hang out, and Phil came in and sat on my pink fluffy chair. I decided to be brave and I went over and sat on his lap and from there we spent the night talking. I was later told by my friend Jason that Phil had broken up with his girlfriend for me, so that I had better give him a chance. I was so excited after that week that I couldn’t wait to tell my best friend Kayla when I got home the next weekend. We spent most of the night face book-stalking him so I could show her how cute he was.

The first date...

This story comes by request for its humorish qualities that some enjoy. SO, Sarah and I had been together for a while and I decided that she was the type of girl that needed something nice and romantic. So I asked our friend Megan Anderson to help me out. there was this little lake by the middle school, so I arranged a date with Sarah and just before I got sarah, megan and I went to the lake, set out a blanket and lit some candles (Im quite the romantic I know). While I went to get sarah, megan watched the candles for me, when we arrived I had sarah blindfolded. As we pulled up I saw a state trooper and prompted sarah to take the blindfold off. Megan was told to put the candles out, the trooper was cool about it all and left without talking to sarah and I. So Sarah and I decided to lay on the blanket and look at the stars, a perfect clear night sky.
Pretty good so far right... then the Fremont police show up. They shine a spot light on us and ask to see my license and registration. I thought this was pretty dumb since we weren't doing anything illegal but went with the flow like any good citizen. While I am being reviewed by one cop, his partner is talking with sarah and I assumed they were just checking her out as well. Of course we were both clean and they left. I later came to find out that the cop was asking her questions like "are you here on you on free will?" "Is he forcing you at all to be here?"
SERIOUSLY? Ima go through all this work to be romantic and FORCE a girl to enjoy it with me...
anyway, that's our first date in how I remember it. keep coming back, Im sure more stories will surface eventually.
