It was New Year’s Eve, 2017, when we first met. I was out celebrating with my friends, and he was doing the same with his. At some point, we crossed paths at the bar. He bought me a drink, we exchanged a few words and then went our separate ways, assuming that was that. As the night went on and the final minutes of the year slipped away, we found each other again—this time on the dance floor, just as the ball was dropping. As we rang in 2018, there was an undeniable spark between us. After that night, we decided to see if we were just New Year’s magic or actually onto something. Our first official date was at Burgatory, where we shared a burger and a milkshake and started what would become an incredible journey together.
