We’re tying the knot!

We met in the most unexpected place. Menards, of all places on a random afternoon that I’ll never forget. I was standing in the plumbing aisle doing the plumbing departments cart full of returns. As fate would have it, he happened to be working in the plumbing department that day, and after noticing my confusion, he approached with a warm smile and asked if I needed help. Grateful and mildly flustered, I explained my situation, and instead of just pointing me in the right direction, he walked me over to the aisle, explained the different models, and helped me put away the returns one by one. No frustration, just genuine kindness. We chatted easily, something about his calm confidence putting me at ease, and by the time we made it back to the returns counter together, all the returns were done! By this time its around 8:30pm he was gone for the day and I still had 30 minutes left on my shift. I did some digging, ended up finding his instagram and our love story took off from there.
