We're Getting Married!

It all began in 2014. Elisabeth was in a rush, just grabbing some late-night takeout. As she waited for her order, she struck up some small talk with the cute bartender, Wayne. She already had a feeling she'd be back, but so when she realized she forgot to tip, she ran back in. You know, she needed to make a good impression. That impression, though, was pure awkwardness in classic Elisabeth fashion. Fast forward a few weeks, and that very same restaurant closed for good. Elisabeth and Wayne both went on with their lives, unaware that this fleeting moment was more significant than either of them could have known. Nearly two years later, they somehow found themselves in the same place again—this time, on a date at Drakes, completely unaware they'd crossed paths before. How they ended up there? A mystery in itself. Maybe a glitch in the matrix. Neither of them had been looking for each other, and certainly not for a happily-ever-after. But as time went on, they found themselves a slow burn, growing together. From late nights out to evenings spent at home, reluctant to leave their cats. Fast forward once more… Wayne now has two cats who don’t even remember life before Dad. Who would have thought? Not them. But sometimes, the best things in life happen when you least expect it. And now, here they are, preparing to say "I do," looking back at the unexpected path that led them here. Through chance, timing, and a shared moment in a downtown restaurant, Elisabeth and Wayne's story proves that love has a way of finding its own timing—even if you don't see it coming.
