Sho and I had hung out many times thanks to TFA AAPI events. It wasn't until Life is Beautiful that we got to hang out just the 2 of us due to the abandonment of our friends (looking back now - best wingwomen ever 5FT & Under Eating Club!). During Life is Beautiful, Sho and I were at Lorde's stage. She was talking after one of her songs and out of nowhere Sho turns around to me and says, "You sound like you’re from London". If you read that in a terrible British accent in your head and you know my love for Forgetting Sarah Marshall - then you know why at that exact moment I knew he was THE ONE. The rest is history and we are still rolling strong.
Jacqueline and I started with hangouts at TFA AAPI events and a fortunate dinner with the 5ft and under eating club, where a spark of feelings for Jacqueline ignited in my heart. After I asked about Jacqueline from her friends, a fateful night at Life is Beautiful, full of conversation and laughs, turned that spark into a small fire. As luck would have it, Jacqueline is a huge sports fan and our subsequent hangouts during Sunday, Monday, and Thursday Night Football fanned the flames of that fire. During these nights, we shared multiple sports top five lists and argued over which player to start a franchise with. The summation of all of these events helped me realize that she is my lobster. A Montana to my Rice. A Klay to my Steph. A Buster to my Madison.
