Brooke & Greg Wilson

Not many people can say that they have known their future husbands since they were 7 years old, but that is how long I have known my husband Greg. My older brother, Brent, was very active in sports growing up and Greg played basketball and baseball with him all throughout their adolescence. I held a secret crush on Greg from the age of 11 to 15, but he only thought of me as Brent's little sister so I gave up pinning for him. 

I went away to college and when I moved back to my hometown after graduation I was not looking for love. I went to a church league softball game and Greg evidently saw me there and asked a mutual friend if I was seeing anyone. On our first date, my mother informed him that I had had a crush on him when I was younger and he thought it was cute. We started dating, and after about 10 months Greg asked me if I wanted to go to Hawaii for vacation. On Memorial Day while in Hawaii, Greg and I went for a moon-lite stroll and he got down on one knee and proposed. We were married last March and I feel so lucky being married to a man that I have known my whole life, first as a friend and now as my soul mate.
