Merryman & Merrywoman

They first set eyes upon one another during middle school, sporting bad hair cuts and band tees. Allie wore a Naruto headband and Caleb looked like a member of the Beatles. They didn't think anything of it at the time. Fast forward to 10 years later: Caleb and Allie shared the same best friend. She (Karlee) decided to bring him to Allie's graduation party in 2016. Both were Psychology students, so they had stuff to talk about. They partied and had a good time, and after a year of being in a meme chat titled "Minion Manor", they decided to start seeing each other. The meme game was too strong. Caleb officially "liked" Allie when he saw the way she played "Super Mario Odyssey" and raved about burritos. Allie knew she loved Caleb a few months into dating, but waited to tell him until he said it first (because she's stubborn). He said he was "waiting for the right time". She replied, "there is no right time!" so Caleb proclaimed there, in the Fred Meyer self-checkout, that he loved her. Months later they cleaned up their acts, moved in together, and happily adopted 2 kitties. Allie gave Caleb her heart under an ancient Spruce and Caleb gave her a sacred ring at the junction of River and Sea. They became one with each other and with their great Mother who is all, and who is in all. They decided to build a permanent foundation here on Earth. Their framework is, of course, a really really close friendship. :)
