Diana’s story. Which happens to be far more factual

What’s below is Diana’s version of our meeting story. If you compare this to my version posted on thegingerandthegypsy.com, you’ll find that it is generally more acceptable.
——————————————

Jon and I met in a lower level math class, freshman year in college. Yup, the truth is out. I was in that class solely because dad made a quick move for us from Texas to South Carolina and I didn’t take the math placement test… or was it that I took it last minute, unprepared? I just can’t seem to remember… Jon was in there because… well, I’ll let him tell you that version of the story.

To sum it up, class was filled with partyers and students who thought Pi was only a fraternity/sorority symbol. Thank goodness my future partner in crime decided to sit next to me in the back of class. From day one, we became instant friends and survived that math class through note-passing and funny comics Jon drew for me.

Jon asked me to tutor him, which I believe was a plot to get to know me better since he was obviously intrigued by my sharp math skills and overall cuteness. Now that I look back, maybe fewer notes in class would have helped him with that grade… Jon and I were friends for about a year, and right before Christmas we started realizing that our friendship had become something more. The funny part is, I had convinced everyone (except for my parents of course, because they always know when I’m in denial) that I didn’t like this boy named Jon and I even remember commenting that I “pitied” the girl who dated him because he was very forgetful (ahem, my 19th birthday) and self-centered at times.

Well, I quickly realized that I just needed way to much attention (I know nobody reading this is surprised) and everyone to me is considered self-centered unless the attention is solely on me. Jon and I have been together for over 6 and a half years and Jon proposed on Christmas Eve on Bald Rock in South Carolina. It seems that cool things always happen around Christmas for us. Our marriage doesn’t mean the beginning of our lives, because we’ve already made that committment to each other 6 and a half years ago, but what it really signifies is the joining of our families. And if you know us, you know how much family means to us.

Nothing is more important than our family and friends. So we look forward to sharing this moment with you and we give a shout out to Mutlu, our teacher of that unforgettable special-needs math class which brought us together.
