As surprising as it may seem, we actually went to high school together 14 years ago and reconnected almost 2 years ago in the LensCrafters store that Julie managed. Brian was coming in for his eye exam and Julie recognized him when he walked in the store. Julie tried to help Brian pick out his glasses and make conversation and he didn't even recognize her! (to be fair, it was during high covid time and we all had masks on) Fast forward to almost a year later and he messaged her online and said "hey! how have you been?!" and the rest is history. During our second date, she made sure to tell him all about our LensCrafters encounter and his response was "no way that was you!" As we were getting to know each other's families, our parents were asking about our high school and prom became a topic of conversation. Brian and I began to describe our prom experiences and who we went to prom with and quickly realized we were a part of the same group of friends. We pulled out pictures and immediately found each other with our dates standing right next to each other in a group of over 40 people. After all this time of knowing each other, guess it was meant to be all along!
