It all started the way many modern love stories do, on Instagram, courtesy of a mutual friend who clearly deserves a lifelong thank you (and maybe a drink at the wedding). A casual follow turned into a message, which turned into a conversation… and then another, and another. Then the world hit pause. COVID pandemic. While everything else slowed down, somehow we didn’t. With nowhere to go and far too much time on our hands, we talked about everything and nothing, late nights, random thoughts, big dreams, and the occasional “what are you even eating?” check-in. Somewhere between the endless messages and unexpected laughs, things got real. What started as a simple online connection quietly turned into something neither of us saw coming, but now couldn’t imagine life without. And the rest, as they say, is history… or at least the beginning of a pretty great forever.
