First Date

7.22.2022

"DOG, YOU HAVE A DOG" Mallory wrote with glee, On Hinge's screen, a message so free. A spark ignited in words so clear, Little did they know, love was drawing near. Mike's heart skipped a beat, a grin on his face, He typed back, "But of course, I have a canine's embrace." In a virtual world, their connection took flight, Two souls entwined in the soft glow of night. And then came the day, they met face to face, At Fretboard Coffee, a charming place. As coffee beans roasted, they exchanged a nervous smile, Love's journey had begun, in such a style. With coffee cups clinking like a silly duet, They giggled and snorted, no worries to fret. Stories of pups and their mischievous games, Turned into jokes with funny doggo names. From Hinge's message to Fretboard's café, Mallory and Mike found love's bright array. A tale of connection, so simple and true, Love bloomed from dog, a message, and brew. In Fretboard's corner, their fate was sealed, Two hearts and a story that truly revealed, That love can be sparked with words so light, And bloom into something forever and bright.

The Proposal

7.22.2023

In the bathroom mirror's soft-lit hue, Michael's heart found courage true. A note left for Mal, a simple cue, His love for her, forever grew. Amid candles, and lights, and quirky décor, Their love story unfolded, forevermore. In a moment so cherished, amidst darkness and light, Two souls intertwined, taking flight. Within this scene, a message board lies, Coffin-shaped, it brought an unexpected surprise. A quote from the Addams Family, so fitting, A touch of darkness in a love story, transmitting. "You're my cactus," the message did say, In this garden of life, come what may. Upon that mirror, countless notes and reflections would show, A love that would flourish, endlessly aglow.
