How I Met My Other: Part One

April 15th, 2011 @ 3:05 pm by Mrs. Pony

The short story is that Mr. Pony and I met, began dating, and got engaged during law school. That story would suffice, but that would not fit with my loquacious personality, so you get to hear the whole thing. :)

I will set the scene for you.

It’s my first semester of grad school. I am stressed and overwhelmed by the all the changes occurring in my life. I meet about 400 people in the first week, including Mr. Pony. Despite the whirlwind of the first few weeks of school, I can still vividly remember my first memories of Mr. Pony, including:

  • Mr. Pony getting called on at the practice class in front of our whole first-year class at orientation
  • Mr. Pony being called on first in our very first class of the semester
  • Seeing Mr. Pony hanging out at the bar celebrating surviving our first week of school
  • Mr. Pony campaigning to be the class representative
  • That sweet Pony smile

Then one night, Mr. Pony and I both attended a pre-gaming party before heading to an ’80s night at the bar. At the party we bonded over our matching cameras, being beer-pong partners, and his recent campaign victory. Our group then headed out to the bar and had a great time dancing and drinking to the hits of the ’80s.

Some proof of the fun:

Mr. Pony had a good time.

After this epic night, Mr. Pony and I continued to be friends by hanging out between classes (Did I mention we had every class together?) and starting a study group.

There was just one catch. Mr. Pony had a girlfriend. (cue ominous music)

Oh, I feel you! My guy had just barely broken up with his ex when we first met, and I was really trying not to fall for him and give him the space he needed. Luckily for me, he didn’t need as much space as I thought, and we both fell really hard real fast. And it’s been that way ever since. :-)

I love how well this post sums up law school: being overwhelmed, meeting a million people, getting called on, and drinking/dancing! I’m excited to hear the rest of your tale!

@Miss Hyena: @haelmai: @Miss Candy Apple: It was definitely the inspiration for the title!
@haelmai: That’s awesome! Sometimes, things just work out that way. I’m glad it worked for you and your FI!
@vintagemodernbride: This is one of my favorite picture of the Pony guy because he looks so damn happy.
@Miss Maid: Ha! Yes, reading it brings me back to law school…I miss those days, minus the studying and finals and stuff.
