Forrest: We both changed our major to photography at the same time.
Michelle: And then he was in every class I had after that—even the ones that weren’t for our major.
Forrest: But the official meet-cute happened when I saw Michelle wasn’t eating lunch. She’d just sit outside. So I brought her a sandwich.
Michelle: And I was like, Okay, stalker....

Brandi: We used to work out together in the gym.
Britt: Her best friend was our trainer.
