Hey guys! We have Courtenay (not Courtney) today here from Love Court XOXO! She is absolutely adorable and here to tell you a little about her love story! Take it away Court!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love love- always have, always will. So it shouldn’t come
as a surprise that I love a good love story. And I figure, since I love a good
love story, there has to be somebody else out there who loves reading love
stories too. That’s why I decided to share a love story with you, readers of
Hansen Love!
This one I am about to
share is my favorite for one major reason, it’s mine.
Let’s go back to the week of my high school graduation. It
was summer (I know summer is great everywhere, but there is something about a
Michigan summer that is magical. If you ever have time to go on a vacation in
June/July/Aug- come to Michigan. You won’t be disappointed), I was finally
graduating high school, and I had all the time in the world to hang out with my
best friends. In my eyes, life was perfect. There wasn’t anything I would
change.
I remember this specific night like it was yesterday. It was
about 9:00 pm and I was sitting in my high school parking lot with two of my
friends (waiting to meet up with another person), when I received a text
message from someone who I had never talked to before. He said his name was
Zack Coleman. I knew vaguely who this Zack Coleman was (his younger sister was
in my graduating class), but I had never seen/talked/ect to him. I must have
been feeling a little spontaneous that night because I texted him back. I
normally didn’t text random guys back, just wasn’t my style. Of course the first thing I said to him was,
“How did you get my number?” His response was, “Your mom gave it to me and said
that I should hang out with you sometime.” Imagine my shock hearing that my MOM
was handing out my phone number. So, that next morning (I had slept over at my
friend’s house) I called my mom and asked her if she had given my phone number
out. Her response was, “No.” That’s right, she lied about giving Zack my
number, making him look totally creepy for about 5 mins (she finally confessed,
silly mom).
Once I finally got it out of her that it was her and Zack
didn’t make the whole story up, she urged me to have dinner with him. Since I
always did what my parents told me (I was good that way), I had dinner with him
at a local Ann Arbor restaurant, Zingermans. I ordered mac n’ cheese. I don’t
remember, but I can make a pretty safe guess that he ordered a hamburger (He
always does when we go out to eat). We split an order of sweet potato fries.
That dinner lead to more dinners which lead to a whole summer of dinners, and
before I knew it, I was engaged. So, I guess that means two things. 1) I get to
have dinner dates with him for the rest of my life and 2) Moms really do know what’s
best for their kids.

adventures, and wedding planning at Love Court, XOXO. If you stop by,
please say hi!
Ps. I already told you how I love love, so obviously I would
love to hear about how you met your boyfriend/fiancé/husband/partner in crime.
Please share your story in the comments.
