Nine years ago this past Tuesday, I was Miss NHS and Benjamin was my escort at the pageant dance. With his Mickey Mouse tie, pleated blue jeans, and brown deck shoes, he confessed to me that I was the girl for him (in a very cheesy way I might add). I had a big crush on another guy (which is ironic in itself if you knew who he was), but Benjamin had phoned me so regularly leading up to this point that I was beginning to have stronger feelings for him instead. 
Benjamin was supposed to be my date for the pageant dance which was originally scheduled in February, but then he hurt his leg from jumping off of a snow bank so he was unable to come. I found another date (a very good school friend named Anthony), but then the dance was cancelled due to a storm. It was rescheduled, to which I kept my date with Anthony, but it was cancelled again due to a snow storm. When it was rescheduled the third time, for March 21, Anthony was unable to make it, and Benjamin was better by then. The rest is history.
It'll be three years of marriage for us on June 21 of this year.
