In the spring of 2018, as his classmates agonised over profound quotes and witty one-liners for their senior yearbook, Cade Wessel had a different idea.
With a mix of bravado and heart-fluttering certainty, he penned a prediction that would change his life:
"Twenty bucks I marry Sarah Dill."
Cade and Sarah, friends since the first day of sixth grade in Bradenton, Florida, had only been dating for a few weeks. But sometimes, when you know, you know.
"Some were trying to think of funny things to say, others were attempting to be profound," Cade recalled in a recent interview with PEOPLE. "But I sat there, isolated myself and thought, 'I'm going to do something legendary.'"
