Jeremy said: After Thanksgiving I started to have inclinations. It was not until January that I had a great experience that pushed me to get the ball rolling.

Mandy and Jeremy said: Colorado. Denver, then near Vail at a lodge.

True Love...

Question: When did you know you were in love?

Jeremy said: A week or two before Thanksgiving.
Mandy said: There wasn’t really one moment. I always thought very highly of Jeremy and hoped the relationship would progress. The night we took our engagement pictures, he was saying really nice things to me and I started crying. I just kept thinking, “How come it took us so long to find each other?”

Question: Who said “I love you” first and when?

Jeremy said: I did, about a week or two before Thanksgiving.
Mandy said: He did. I was so sick with the flu (one of sickest I've ever been) and Jeremy was going to come visit, but I said not to because I was so sick. But then I hung up and was really sad, so I called him back and asked him to come over. That night he told me he knew he loved me because he would rather come be with me when I was so sick than stay home and play rockband with his roommate.”

Question: What are the top three reasons you love each other?

Jeremy said: I don’t do lists like these. Basically, I love her for who she is; a wonderful and loving person.

Mandy said: The first time I saw him my friend was pointing him out to me, because I knew he wanted to meet me.

But the first time I really met him, he was really fun, making jokes, etc. I was at his house and the Olympics were on, and he and his roommate derived a formula to calculate the velocity of the divers (he's an engineer). I thought it was really funny, and thought they were joking at first, but they were actually serious.
