Our love story began eight years ago, in the most modern of ways—through a dating app. Despite living just five minutes apart, attending the same college, and sharing a circle of mutual friends, it took a digital match to bring us together. The first time we met, Emily awkwardly shook Johnny’s hand when he was reaching in for a hug—talk about awkward and a classic first impression! As we got to know each other, we quickly discovered our shared love for arcades, which became our special hangout spot during the early years of our relationship. Over time, it became clear how much we had in common—our interests, beliefs, even the way we seemed to finish each other’s thoughts. It’s as if we were mind readers, perfectly in tune with each other’s every move.
