We're Getting Married!

(As told by Christiane) In 2016, I was 21 and new to the big city. I was invited by a friend over drinks at MOA and Mark was there with his friends drinking. Our two friend groups gathered in one table, and after we all met, we hang out the rest of the night and exchanged numbers. We both exchanged greetings every now and then and Mark planned 4 dates to which I have to decline. Then two years later after we first met, Mark invited me to have drinks at MOA at sunset and everything is in the right place at that specific moment. I went to MOA and there he was standing with a soothing smile on his face. I can't endorse the idea of love at first sight, but maybe there are moments when God or fate or some cosmic sense of humor rolls its eyes at two stammering hears and says, "Oh, for crying out loud! You are both meant to be!" He looked into my eyes and that was it. Everything that I've been through and what I am about to go through became clear. Life just came to life.
