Sixth Grade Sweethearts | Las Vegas Taco Bell Wedding
Childhood crushes are so rare but so, so sweet when they end up together as adults! Emily and Connor have been fated since sixth grade. How many folks can say that?! These childhood sweethearts reconnected as adults and found their happily ever after. Here’s how their story goes:
He was a soccer star, she was a nerd (is someone playing Avril Lavigne?) and she had a HUGE crush on him. Alas, it never panned out through their school years but Connor was always her “one that got away.” Notebook scribbles, MASH, daydreams — we’ve all felt that, amirite?
Years later, while Emily lived in Scotland, the topic of childhood crushes came up at a dinner with her coworkers. Playing along, Emily whipped out her phone and searched Connor’s page (which was DEFINITELY NOT at the top of her most recent searches) to show everyone the cutie pie. Then, while Emily was on a trip to Norway, Connor slid into her DMs after DEFINITELY NOT agonizing over what to say. Can you imagine how that felt?!
Their potential love from way back in the day finally came true! They moved in together after 3 months and she picked her ring (loving this trend, by the way. Get the ring you love, ladies!). Another dream since Emily was a kid was getting married at Taco Bell! She always said that no matter who was by her side, she was getting married at Taco Bell and absolutely nothing else mattered. Then what does Taco Bell go and do? Open a freaking wedding chapel! Emily got the great fiesta fairytale of her dreams!
