Dusty Hamilton & Nani Ramirez
When is your anniversary?
D: “The 21st, the day the world was supposed to end. Had I realized my mistake in my choice of the day, I would have asked her out a day later just so everyone would have known the world wasn’t going to end. Although it was not a mistake that I asked her out.”
N: “April 21, 2012, weird how it fell into place!”

How did you meet?
D: “During French class my sophomore year, her freshman year. I sat in front of her and I started talking to her one day because I wanted to get to know her.”

N: “I thought he was an odd one, yet hilarious. Everything he said and did make me laugh!”

What was it that attracted you to one another?

N: “The way Dusty always has something hilarious to say about EVERYTHING. His intelligence, I love it!”

Who is the boss in the relationship?
D: “She is no question…”
N: “It’s a never-ending battle, but in the end it’s me.”

What do you like most about each other?

N: ”I like the fact that he’s orderly, kind, thoughtful, and is really smart. Just everything!”

Describe each other in one word.
D: “Forgiving.”
N: “Paradisiacal.”

Least favorite thing about each other?

A song that reminds you of each other?
D: “’ I’m Glad you Came’ by The Wanted.”
N: “’ I’m Glad you Came’ by The Wanted.”
