Love often finds us when we least expect it. For me, it happened on the very day I was ready to give up on finding love online. I had been on Silver Singles, but after a series of disappointments—including being catfished—I was over it. That day, I made up my mind to delete the app and request a full refund. Just as I was about to do so, a message popped up. It was from Kevin. I noticed he was from Flossmoor, Illinois—a detail that immediately made me skeptical. My very best friend, Romina Brown, also lives in Flossmoor. Was this another scam? Was someone playing with fate? I almost ignored it, but something told me to take one last chance. Without hesitation, I sent him my phone number and a straightforward message: “If you’re real, call me. You won’t be able to reach me here because I’m deleting this app right now.” And he did. I missed his call that night, but when I returned it the next day, something just clicked. From the moment we spoke, I knew he was different. He was kind, sincere, and carried a presence that felt both familiar and refreshing. By the time I hung up, my heart told me what my mind hadn’t yet processed—he was special. The first person I called afterward was Romina. I told her about Kevin, and without skipping a beat, she told me, “You need to come to my fundraiser next month—buy a ticket and bring him as your date.” With absolute confidence, I sent her the money that night. I knew Kevin would be the one standing beside me. And from that moment to this very day, he has been. Now, as we count down to May 25th, we can’t wait to celebrate this journey with you. Our love story started with a leap of faith, and every step since has been filled with purpose, laughter, and the certainty that we are meant to be. We are each other’s Last Everything. 💍 ✨
