How We Met

Christy's POV- The night was February 7, 2018, and I had an important Biochemistry exam the next day. Earlier that week, I had agreed to go on a blind date with a friend of a friend, but I was having doubts because I needed to study. After mild to moderate peer pressure from Billie, she finally convinced me to come out and meet Ray. I showed up to the date about an hour late wearing a baggy sweatshirt, old leggings, and no makeup. Ray was handsome, funny, kind, and just a little bit nerdy, and I began to fall for him. We finally left the bar 5 hours later and I was impatiently looking forward to our next date. The rest, as you say, is history. (PS- I aced the exam lol) Ray's POV- I went on all of about four dates while in college, mostly relying on Tinder to match with strangers online and see where things go. It wasn’t working out. I have a friend, Billie, who had switched majors and became friends with some girl named Christy. I am sure there was more to the conversation, but I recall it going something like “Hey, you’re single and she’s single, you should go out.” After asking to see a picture of Christy, I thought she looked rather familiar. Ends up, we had matched on Tinder. I never messaged her because I felt like she would be out of my league. I agreed to go out on a blind date under the condition that we make it a double date. I remember being nervous, but also excited for the date! I arrived on time, maybe even early. Christy arrived rather late, but I didn’t mind. She was beautiful, intelligent, and surprisingly easy to talk to! I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her! We are so excited to tie the knot, and we are even more excited to have you all with us on our journey!
