How We Met
Ian and Amber first met in 2018. With Amber a high school senior and Ian a sophomore, the odds of anything beyond friendship were unlikely. Instead, they quickly became best friends through track practice, spending hours talking during long runs and sharing laughter on trips to Whole Foods and the gym, always with Amber insisting they were not dates. When Amber left for college, their friendship only deepened. Ian often stayed up late helping her through chemistry and math assignments, all while listening to every story about her college experiences and various love interests. Over time, Amber realized she compared every guy she met to Ian, recognizing that no one else shared the qualities she cherished in him. Following the advice she had heard growing up, to date your best friend, Amber and Ian did just that in January 2020. Since then, they have shared a relationship built not only on love, but on the rare joy of being each other’s closest friend.
