You know those rom-coms where two people spend years narrowly missing each other, only to magically meet when the timing is just right? Yeah… that’s basically us. We met online — shoutout to Match for making us swipe right into forever — but it turns out we’d been unknowingly orbiting each other for years. We grew up just minutes apart, hung out at the same malls, roller-skated at the same rinks, and even went to rival high schools. I was a cheerleader. Craig was a football player. We were literally on opposite sidelines, and somehow never officially met. (Cue the dramatic movie montage.) But, here’s where it gets wild: a couple of months before we connected, I took a random photo at a Cherry Creek football game… and guess who’s in the background? Craig! Just hanging out in my camera roll like some kind of time-traveling fiancé. Clearly, the universe was playing the long game — and we are so glad it did. From almost-meetings to once-in-a-lifetime love, we’ve finally found each other. Now we’re writing our favorite chapter… and this time, we are both in the same frame.
