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.

Michelle: And I was like, Okay, stalker....

Years together: 2

Brandi: We used to work out together in the gym.

Britt: Her best friend was our trainer.

Brandi: Being around her and discovering her personality, I saw what a genuine person she is.
