Our story began in a friend group Chat. Monique was at an internship in South Carolina and Gary was working in Miami. After a mutual friend introduced us we realized that we were both Marvel fans, and were excited to go see Avengers Endgame. Gary knew that Monique was not enjoying her time in South Carolina so he wanted to cheer her up and wrote “ I Love You 3000” in the group chat. This immediately became our inside joke as no one in the group chat knew what we were talking about. The group chat allowed us to get to know each other. Throughout the rest of Monique’s semester, we became good friends and started to talk to each other outside of the group chat. As summer approached, Monique wanted to finally be able to meet Gary in person, so she proposed to go down to Miami to work at her parent's School. After spending almost every weekend together that summer we both knew it was only a matter of time. Monique officially Moved back down to South Florida and they continued to date, after which Gary officially asked Monique to be his Girlfriend the rest was history!
