Thanks Heavy, Isn’t that the crazy thing? Being friends before lovers really works! You actually know and like the person before you start dating!

Congrats on the wedding! That’s exciting, in a squat rack no less. That’s awesome. One of my high-diving buddies got married on top of the platform at Magic Mountain, and when they said I-do, they held hands and “took the plunge.”
Thanks everyone for the love!
