We met randomly on online one evening. She was at her wits’ end with dating, and he was still healing. Neither were looking for anything serious or a long-term commitment. He said hello—and their conversation never ended. From that day on, we messaged every day, sharing stories, laughter and tears. Spending months talking, scheduling weekends and bridging the distance between opposite coasts. Our love grew in unexpected and beautifully non-traditional ways— feeling safe, refreshing, comforting, and inviting all at once. From our first meeting to today, we have found peace in one another, an ease neither of us have ever known. A year later, we cannot imagine life apart. Being together feels like home. And so we invite you to celebrate with us an unexpected love that began with a simple hello.
