People often say that first love is the sweetest. For some, it’s just a nice memory, but for others, it can turn into a lasting relationship. Regardless of what happens, stories about those first exciting feelings are always intriguing.

The Story:

I had a crush on my classmate but didn’t know how to express my feelings, so I just teased her. At graduation, I messed everything up by making a hurtful joke. After that, I moved to a different city, graduated from college, and tried dating other women, but it didn’t work out.

Five years later, my classmates organized a reunion, and I saw her again. She looked even more stunning! In a bold move, I asked her to marry me in front of everyone, and she said yes, surprising our classmates even more.

It turned out she had strong feelings for me too. Now we’re happy together. We got married shortly after, have two beautiful children, and recently celebrated 10 years of marriage. Our love grows stronger every day. The only thing I regret is those five lost years.
