Simply meant to be. For months, perhaps even years, we crossed paths without ever talking. Our first encounter took place outside in front of the Nationwide office located in Brooklyn, New York. With the exchange of a casual “hi” and “bye” began a series of Instagram messages, texts, and phone calls that led to us dating during the covid pandemic. We got to know each other and each other’s hearts, but life’s distance had pulled us apart for a few years. However, as fate would have it, we found our way back to one another, and it became undeniable that we belonged together. We began our mission to grow together as a family and in doing so, falling in love even more than ever before.
