Forever & Always

Jason and Paola met on March 12, 2018, while working at IKEA. Paola was just wrapping up her Junior year of college and decided to get a little more cash for her Senior year. Jason at the time had been working at IKEA for four years and was completing his degree in 3D modeling and Computer Aided Design. On that Tuesday afternoon, Paola started her first official day of work at IKEA, and for Jason, it was just another day. Little did they know they’d be meeting their soulmate! Paola had walked over to one of the entryways to the store floor to start her day. Jason at the same time walked up to the same entryway (on the opposite side) to take a quick break. At that very moment, Paola opened the door and on the other side was Jason. Both had felt like the wind was knocked out of them. While they exchanged pleasantries and went on their respective paths. Each had the passing thought — “did I just meet my wife”; “did I just meet my husband”? The rest of that day they ran into each other several more times. From there Jason and Paola developed a strong friendship, completely unaware of the other's feelings. Until February 15, 2020, Jason finally had the courage to ask Paola to hang out outside of work. That very night Jason professed his love for Paola, and she professed hers to him. Since that day they have been inseparable!
