We're Getting Married...Finally!

Our story began similar to some of the greatest love stories ever known. It began on the internet. Bumble, to be exact. However, unlike Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in "You've Got Mail", our story involved a Superswipe (that cost Brett $0.99) and a Daily Extend (that was nearly expired until Michelle decided to open her Bumble app). For Brett, it was clear what he was looking for, as his profile stated, "I'm a sucker for a fair face and a foul mouth." Michelle's profile, however, had zero information on it. Despite Brett knowing nothing about Michelle, and Michelle's procrastination on messaging Brett, the chemistry was nearly instant. What followed was 4 1/2 hours of chatting about traveling, food, dogs, meditation, and movies. Brett had to go to bed for work the next day and gave his number to Michelle, who instantly texted him - which then resulted in 2 more hours of chatting. Needless to say, Brett was not very productive the next day. That night, we set up our first date for brunch on Sunday, December 9 at the Mar Vista. At brunch, we talked, and laughed, and high fived, and barely touched our damn food. And yes, we shut down the restaurant and had to be asked to leave. Our lives had changed. We saw each other two days later on Tuesday (the night of our first kiss), then again on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And every day since. Two and a half weeks later, Brett told Michelle he loved her on New Year's Eve just before the ball dropped. And although we were supposed to be married more than a year ago, quarantine brought us even closer together, making it even more clear that we each found our person. And we'll be by each other's side. Tomorrow and forever. Finally.
