Michael and Kelsey Yeck

Michael and I met in a class at BYU during Winter semester 2011. I sat down next to him one day and just got to talking. He was dang cute but I just assumed he'd be too short for me. Once we stood up to leave and I realized how tall he was and decided that just couldn't be our only conversation! These are the seat where it all started:

 After a few weeks of class I ran into him on campus and "suggested" we hang out. He jumped at the opportunity and asked me out. Here is our first date, lots of laughs!

 Mike got really sick about a week or two after we started dating. The docs got him on some strong codeine. He was pretty loopy one night and I decided to play some games. I asked him if he liked me and he willingly said "I think I love you". Not knowing what to do and assuming it was the codeine talking, I just kissed him. 5 seconds later he was passed out! I couldn't help but laugh. Here is the sick one. Coach, I promise I didn't give it to him!

 Long story short (I know too late) we really were in love from the beginning. I never questioned that he had to be something more than a stranger in a class room. We started talking marriage soon and I had to ease my parents into the idea that their 19 year old daughter was looking at rings and picking out colors. They met Mike, fell in love too, and 6 months after that first date, we were married.

Now we are deep into school and football. I recently started my own business and I love the independence it’s giving us to start our life on our terms. Mike loves the time with the team and I love the relationships I’m forming with other wives. I know that we are both very grateful to be involved with such an amazing organization. BYU Football has given us so many blessings and opportunities that we will never be able to forget I loved our engagements:
