How it all started

Weddings bring people together!

It's often said that "weddings bring people together," and this time, it couldn't have been more accurate. A week before the big day, the wedding party gathered for a casual get-together. Jasmine immediately noticed Steve—tall, observant, and wrapped in an air of mystery. Steve, on the other hand, was drawn to Jasmine's radiant smile, her infectious personality, and the way her captivating eyes sparkled. Although they didn’t speak, their connection was undeniable. They locked eyes across the room, their silent exchange of energy a secret understanding between them. Jasmine, unable to find a chair in the crowded apartment, ended up sitting on the floor. Shon, the ever-playful best man, mischievously attempted to remove one of Jasmine’s shoes. In a burst of playful resistance, Jasmine tried to fend him off, but it quickly escalated into her experiencing a painful Charley Horse in her calf. Steve, ever the caretaker, quickly sprung into action. With calm precision, he helped Jasmine ease the tension in her leg, offering her relief from the sharp pain. Once the moment passed, Steve returned to his quiet demeanor, retreating to a corner where he resumed his focus on a game on his phone. Jasmine, still processing the kindness Steve had shown, couldn't help but wonder about this enigmatic man. Why hadn't he said anything? No “you’re welcome,” no “happy to help,” he just seemed so detached. What was his problem? Determined to understand him better, Jasmine decided to take the initiative. She approached Steve, curious about his intense focus on his phone and his apparent reluctance to socialize. When she asked, Steve revealed that he was a gamer, and in large social settings, he tended to stay quiet. Intrigued, Jasmine's curiosity about him only deepened. The rest of the evening was filled with easy conversation, though there were no bold moves or grand gestures. As the night wound down and Steve walked Jasmine to her car, he didn’t ask for her contact information. ODD! Uncertain, but not willing to let the moment slip away, Jasmine took matters into her own hands. She sent him a Facebook message in the wedding group chat, asking him to check his direct messages. Inside, she shared her contact information, hopeful that their connection wouldn’t end there. After the wedding chaos died down, Jasmine and Steve finally set a date: May 25. They went to the Ford Drive-In to see *Deadpool*. It had been a long day for Jasmine, and before long, exhaustion took over. As the movie played on, she fell fast asleep on Steve's arm, snoring softly but loudly enough to interrupt the film. Steve, struggling to suppress his laughter at Ryan Reynolds' character, Steve couldn’t help but smile as he gazed down at her, his heart swelling with affection. He was certain then, this was the woman he’d been waiting for.
