Our story began in September 2016 with a simple message on MeetMe and a shared love of music. At the time, neither of us knew that a conversation about songs and favorite artists would end up becoming the soundtrack to the rest of our lives. We quickly clicked, and before long, Matt asked for my number and invited me out on a date to Don Pablos. I remember thinking he was incredibly handsome. Matt says he thought I was sweet. After so many awkward dates and uncomfortable silences with other people, we both expected more of the same. Instead, something felt different from the moment we sat down together. The conversation flowed effortlessly. We laughed, flirted, and talked about everything and nothing all at once. There were no awkward pauses, no moments of wondering what to say next—just two people genuinely enjoying each other's company. Throughout the evening, our waiter kept stopping by our table. At first, we couldn't figure out why he seemed to be hovering nearby. Eventually, we glanced at the clock and realized the truth: we had been talking for so long that the restaurant had closed around us. We were having such a wonderful time that we had completely lost track of time. After that first date, we couldn't stop talking. Text messages turned into phone calls, phone calls turned into more dates, and more dates turned into countless memories. What started as a connection over music became a friendship, a partnership, and eventually a love story. Looking back, it's funny how something as simple as a dating app brought us together. One message led to one date, one date led to a thousand conversations, and those conversations led us here. What I know now is that from the very beginning, being together felt easy. We were comfortable with each other in a way neither of us had experienced before. Somewhere between the music, the laughter, and that first date that lasted until closing time, I met the person I was meant to spend my life with. And the best part is that our favorite song is still being written.
