Volleyball star Morgan Beck certainly knew of U.S. Olympian skier Bode Miller long before they decided to get hitched. In fact, she turned him down consistently!
Ten years after her first introduction to Miller, where he irritated her family at their hotel thanks to his rambunctious partying, Beck met Miller again. It was 2012, and she was playing a volleyball tournament in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., according to USA Today. Miller asked Beck out every day of the tournament, and she turned him down each time.
He wasn't exactly deterred and said to her, "Well, I'm going to come to your tournament tomorrow."
She responded: "Please don't come. I don't want you there. I don't want any distractions."
Needless to say, Miller didn't listen. After the final game, he walked toward Beck and she thought, "Oh my gosh, he needs to just disappear."
He said to her, "I don't want to freak you out, but we're soul mates," she recalled, via USA Today.
Turns out, Miller was right. According to The Gazette, he bought an engagement ring a month and a half after meeting her. Miller and Beck's powerful connection has helped them survive some serious heartbreak together.
