Parry had a crush on McAfee since she first saw him during freshman orientation at Piper High School, but she didn't start dating him until her sophomore year. During biology class that year, Parry told McAfee that she had a dream that she kissed him. McAfee used what he called a reverse pick-up line and suavely replied, "Well, maybe we can make that come true." He asked Parry out on a date and they have been dating since. —Samara Nazir
