It all started in April 2021, in a dim little pool hall in Fort Collins, where one of them thought it was just a casual night out—and the other had a feeling something good was about to happen. Then came the spark: a couple of beers, too much laughter, and a conversation that stretched from jazz and weird playlists to a heated (and still unresolved) debate over California baseball teams. That night turned into a summer of late-night calls, spontaneous adventures, and a connection that felt easy, electric, and a little unexpected. They didn’t rush into anything—but love has a way of making itself known. Eventually, it was clear this was something rare. They moved in, started building a life full of joy and inside jokes, and one spring break, while she wrapped up her degree, he asked the question that had been growing in his heart since that first night. She said yes—with laughter, happy tears, and the quiet certainty that this was always meant to be.
