Stephanie and I go way back — back to freshmen year of high school.  It was no coincidence that we were both in the Medical Academy together, or that our last names designated us to sit next to each other thanks to alphabetical seating.  Together, we aced numerous terminology and anatomy tests, studied as a unit, chatted and giggled in class when we weren’t supposed to, skipped school lunch to grab Taco Bell, highlighted each other’s hair (which turned out to be disastrous) in my parent’s bathroom, shadowed an EMT unit at Manatee General, snacked on Checkers fries while waiting for said EMT team who was running late, competed in HOSA State Competition as teammates, and so, so many more memories.

I couldn’t be happier that Stephanie’s found her other half.  It’s been seven years since our senior class, and people and relationships have changed plenty.  I’m extremely honored to have the opportunity to share in her engagement to such a sweet guy.  Stephanie has always been radiant and a happy face to see.  But Matt, Matt makes her feel complete — completely in love.

Dear Matt,
Thank you for taking care of my girl, making her laugh, kissing her gently, and loving her completely.  You make her even more radiant, even happier than I’ve ever known her to be.
