One story, different versions

Her version:
Larry and I-Christmas 2008
"Ours was a traditional love story, boy meets girl, boy asks girl out, they fall madly in love-at-first-sight and live happily ever after...well that's not quite how it worked. I persued him for quite a while and finally convinced him to go out with me and that I was perfect for him, don't worry though, the constant 'I told you so's' are worth it ;) the real story goes a little like...while I was dating a boy during high school, I had seen another boy go down the stairs and into our common room, I had thought he was cute, but once I saw him sit down next to his girlfriend at the time (a scary looking girl I might add) I thought I would be out of his league. During the summer after our Sophomore year my boyfriend had broken up with me. Feeling sad, my friend, Kristin, had offered to let me stay at her house for the weekend to help cheer me up. Once I showed up I saw a picture of the boy I had seen long ago and told her that was the one I thought was 'totally cute.'  She found that to be funny because it happened to be her current boyfriend's, Tyler, best friend. I got excited thinking this was for sure my way to him. During that weekend we went over to Tyler's house and she told him I thought he was cute, his response: 'who doesn't think Larry's cute?' which I found to be funny. Once the school year had started Kristin called me up one day to say Larry wanted her to introduce him to other girls so he could date around, knowing I thought he was cute she asked me if I would be willing to go see a movie with him. I thought 'cute boy AND a movie? For sure!' So one night in September we went on a double date with Kristin and Tyler to dinner and a movie at Hollywood Connections and had such a good time. Towards the end of the night there was a mixup with dice and his friend somehow tricked me into saying I wanted to get married to him, we all got a laugh out of that. It wasn't until a month later that I finally asked him out. We've been together for almost 6 years now and it's been one filled with many more embarrassing but laughable moments."

His version:
"I was hangin out with my best friend and his girlfriend when his girlfriend said that one of her friends liked me and wanted to go on a date with me. I was like 'oh yeah? What does she look like?' and then they showed me a picture of her. I was like 'sure, I'll go.' and then we went on our first date to see Without a Paddle and on the way back she basically said she wanted to be my wife and I thought it was cute"
