We met in January 2020, not knowing that the world — and our lives — were about to change forever. Our first date at Mountain Sun felt easy and natural, like we’d known each other for years. A few days later, we shared a Stranger Things light show at Fiske Planetarium, drinks at The Sink, and plenty of laughter during a bowling night soon after. Then came the unexpected: lockdowns, distance, and months apart. But even in isolation, our connection only deepened. We spent those days FaceTiming, watching movies together, and finding comfort in each other’s voice when the world felt uncertain. When we finally reunited in May 2020, it felt like coming home. That’s when we made it official! The beginning of a love that had already proven it could weather anything.
