The Best Holiday Break Ever

PROLOGUE
"Hello everyone. I’m Serena Alchul for MTV News. It looks like all of the Backstreet Boys are taken. Nick Carter, the youngest Backstreet Boy was the last Boy to get hitched. Carter got married this past Saturday to his girlfriend of four years, 22-year-old Arlet Schmidt in a small private ceremony in Nick’s hometown of Tampa, Florida. Carter followed the footsteps of his band mates who also got married through out this year. To see pictures of this and Carter’s band mates’s weddings, log onto to MTV.com or keyword MTV. That is the news for now. Stay tuned to MTV to hear updates ten to the hour, every hour, right here on MTV News."

Yep, it’s true. Can you believe it? Every single of the members in the Backstreet Boys are taken already. And they’re so young too. Hard to believe, huh? Well, could you believe that the five girls who stole the hearts of those men were all friends
way before they met the guys? Well, that’s true too. They were kind of a group like the Boys but minus the singing. The five girls were just like the Backstreet Boys but well…female. Some used to call them "The Backstreet Girls" back then. And they still do too.

How do you know this, you might be asking. The answer: I was and I still am part of that group. I’m Arlet Carter, the wife of Nick Carter. Yeah so, I would say I knew everything that happened, basically. I was 18 when I first met Nick and the Boys. It’s an interesting story. Man, it seems like only yesterday that I found the Boys at our doorstep covered in snow. I could remember all that took place from what happened that night I opened the front door, to New Years Eve of that year and the question they asked us that night.

That’s actually why I’m here. To tell you the way-to-good-to-be-true story of 5 young girls, 5 young guys and a chance encounter that would change all 10 of their lives forever.

It all started on a snowy December Day, the year was 1998 in the great state of Colorado…
