Love at first sight! Flower girl and paige boy marry each other 17 years later

It was love at first sight for beautiful bride Brooke Franklin, who admitted: "I had a crush on him from the start"

It was 17 years ago that Adrian and Brooke first walked down the aisle as flower girl and ring bearer.

But now they've done it again, only this time it's their very own wedding.

On September 19 the couple, from North Carolina, got married at the very same church - South Gastonia Church of God - where they first met, both having a special role in their parents' friends' special day.

And the pair agree that it seemed like destiny for them to one day wed.

Groom Adrian told ABC News: "Every time our paths would go separate ways, we'd reconnect."

It was love at first sight for bride Brooke, who admitted: "I had a crush on him from the start.

"He absolutely could not stand me. He said 'I got on his nerves'. I'd tried to play with him at school and at church and he just didn't want much to do with me at all."

It was when they went to high school together that Adrian had a change of heart and decided to ask her out.

He said: "We would draw with our finger on each other's backs and guess what the other person was writing. I wrote 'Will you be my girlfriend' and she guessed it, but didn't answer me. I said 'Well Brooke, are you going to say anything?' and she said 'Well you didn't write a question mark.'

"Before our wedding day I had a sign made that said 'Will you marry me' but I cut the question mark out. I asked her to marry me and I said, 'Here's your question mark'."

And as they got married at the end of last month, the bride from the wedding in 2001 was among the 300 guests.

Brooke said: "We forgot that we were in the wedding together and she brought the photos to us. She just thought that was the neatest thing.

"She was really excited."
