Our story began in the most romantic of places—online. We matched in early August 2023, and everything was going great... until Janie got taken out by the plague (okay, fine, it was just a bad cold). She went radio silent for a week, leaving Sam to wonder if he’d been ghosted. After emerging from a pile of blankets and binge-watching an embarrassing number of shows, Janie reached out again. Sam, being the kind and patient guy he is, picked up right where we left off. We finally had our first official date—on FaceTime, because California thought it’d be funny to toss in a "hurricane" for dramatic effect. Once the skies cleared, we met in person a week later. Spoiler Alert: it went so well that here we are now, living our happily-ever-after-in-progress!
