So, I know that I usually do these kinds of posts for engaged/married couples, but my sister and her boyfriend are so cute I decided to say heck with it and do one for them too! Say hi everyone :)
(Also, these photos are from our beach vacation last year but someone **cough**Tristan**cough**Joelle**cough** couldn't "find the time" to answer the questions...)
How long have you two been together?:
Joelle: "Officially as a couple, we’ve been together for ten months, but we’ve been friends for over a year now. Tristan had asked me out first, but I declined because after getting out of a very bad and messy relationship I wasn’t quite ready to do it all over again. He agreed to stay friends, which I soon realized was a futile endeavor because a week later I was in love with him. The night we got together, May 16th, 2017, I had had a bad day at work and Tristan came to meet me at the park we always hung out in. We sat there for hours, hardly saying anything, completely comfortable with just each other’s presence, and it was then I knew I wanted to tell him how I felt. I told him I liked him very much, and he seemed happy about it. I must not have been clear because he then proceeded to tell me how he was beyond excited about our friendship. I didn’t know what to say after a while, then sat up and demanded, “Are you gonna ask me out, or not?”. I was not subtle. He professed his love and devotion to me, and we’ve been together ever since."
Tristan: "We have been together for 11 months and 6 days, And it has been amazing, Joelle is my best friend and there is nothing I do that I don't want her a part of. She is there for everything ever since we got together and I couldn't be happier about it."
When/where was your first date?:
Joelle: "Our first date was at a coffee shop downtown. I was so nervous and awkward that I ordered tea and put WAY too much milk in it, so it was just milk with leaves in it. Tristan noticed my anxiety, and told me to not think of it as a date, but just just any other time we hung out. It was so much easier that way. We were still close friends, but now I could kiss him anytime I wanted!"
Tristan: "Our first actual DATE was at Dublin coffee house, but we had hung out several times before either at the park or at work together. She was a bit nervous at first but that faded after a bit and we had a great time. It was so easy to go on dates and stuff because it felt more like two friends hanging out that happen to be dating haha."
What are some things you like to do together?:
Joelle: "We love to cuddle, go to the movies and take walks at Percival’s Island. The Office and Chinese food is our ideal night in. We also love to talk about Marvel vs. DC, but that can sometimes turn into an argument."
Tristan: "I think our favorite thing to do is fall asleep haha We love taking long naps or just lazily hanging in bed all day with a pizza or Chinese and a good couple movies. But we love to go out to dinner and play games and laugh together too. She's really funny and playful and it makes everything a lot more relaxing and fun. You can always find us in a park somewhere when it's raining though, we both love walking in the rain and could do it all day.."
What was your first thought when you saw him/her?:
Joelle: "Daaaaammmnnnn, he’s hot."
Tristan: "I just thought her voice was beautiful.. her hair looked so great because it was all long and dark and she was wearing these knee high black and yellow striped socks with a dress and some converse. Her sense of style was really new and showed someone who was all herself instead of caring much what other people thought of.. I immediately thought she was strong and independent when I saw her and that really caught my attention. After that I couldn't stop thinking of her.. I knew she was special right then."
What are some things you each love about one another?:
Joelle: "Oh, boy. I love his red hair, and how blue his eyes are. I love how when something sort of funny happens, and everyone else is kinda chuckling, Tristan is crying he’s laughing so hard. For several minutes. I love the way we can gently bully each other all the time without getting insulted. Like, when I say he has a stupid pigeon face, he knows I mean I love him. I love how kind and patient he is, and how he always wants to help people the best he can. But most of all I love that he’s my best friend. It makes everything so easy and comfortable. Tristan is the easiest person in the world to be around. He’s smart, funny, incredibly caring and unashamedly kind. It was impossible not to be a part of his life about ten minutes after we started talking."
Tristan: "Joelle has a lot of little things that I love about her. She does things like randomly bite my shoulder or pull my beard in this dorky playful manner and I love it. She's so lively and excited and it keeps things fun and interesting all the time. She's is a phenomenal cook and makes crazy cool things for us to eat all the time. She's also a writer and I love bragging to anyone I can that my girlfriend has published her first book.. she's so talented and smart sometimes I can't even believe she's real..."
