Teen Bets Friend $10 He’s Going to Marry High School Sweetheart—8 Years Later, Friend Sends the Video to His Wife

Savannah and Brodie Richards are high school sweethearts, capturing the hearts of many with their touching love story that began in the hallways of their small-town high school in Plant City, Florida. From cheering on the sidelines of Brodie’s Little League team to becoming husband and wife, their journey is a beautiful testament to the power of enduring love.

A High School Romance That Stood the Test of Time

Savannah and Brodie’s story began in high school, where they first crossed paths in a weight training class. Savannah, a cheerleader, and Brodie, a football player, quickly formed a bond that went beyond the classroom. Brodie made his intentions clear early on, always insisting on being the one to spot Savannah during weight training. His interest in her was undeniable.

When homecoming season arrived, Brodie decided to make a bold move. In a gesture that would set the tone for their relationship, he threw Savannah a football with a message written on it: “You just caught a date to homecoming.” Savannah, initially hesitant due to their age difference—she was a junior, and he was a sophomore—decided to take a chance. They attended homecoming together, and from that moment on, Brodie stuck around, proving that their connection was something special.

A Prophetic Declaration Caught on Camera

In 2016, during one of Savannah’s cheer practices, Brodie made a declaration that would later become a cherished memory. While sitting with a friend and doing homework, Brodie casually announced, “I’m gonna marry her,” betting $10 on his prediction.

His friend, understandably skeptical at the time, responded, “You guys are like 15 years old. You’re not gonna get married. That doesn’t happen.” But Brodie was undeterred, and his confidence in their future together was unwavering. “We really are just best friends. We fit together from the moment we met. It was so much of a strong friendship that it came so easy to love him,” Savannah says, reflecting on how their relationship has evolved over the years.

“I was posting something on social media that included a picture with Brodie, and I was showing him off like I always have,” Savannah says. “His friend who recorded that video was like, ‘You guys, I can’t wait for you to get married and get to that place in life and be together.’ Then she was like, ‘Did you know I actually have this video of him saying he was going to marry you?'”

Savannah was floored by the revelation. “I asked her to find it. I felt like I had to see it to believe it. Then she sent it to me, I always knew we were going to get married, so I held onto the video for about four years now, just hoping that one day I would be able to have that moment.”

A Love That Overcame Life’s Challenges

As they grew up together, Savannah and Brodie navigated the ups and downs of life as a team. From surviving the challenges of college to buying their first home and becoming parents to their 1-year-old daughter, their love only grew stronger. “We really are just best friends. We fit together from the moment we met,” Savannah says. “It was so much of a strong friendship that it came so easy to love him.”

Their journey hasn’t been without its challenges, but Savannah believes that their love has been the key to their success. “It truly means a lot to me that we can be an example that even in hard times and different phases of life, when you truly love somebody, you’re going to make it work. It’s you and them against the world, and I feel blessed to have found that.”
