Grand Rapids, MI

How did it even happen?

How do we begin to tell the story about two people who were bored one night and decided to get on Match.com during a pandemic?....... Well, how do we say to our guests that from the first moment we swiped right (him first, then me...don't tell him I said that...)we didn't realize we had found each other without looking? How can we tell you that I deleted the app the same night, and he decided to message me? How do I mention that weirdly, he is the only person I remember from that night I was bored at home not interested in meeting anyone? .......... How can we let the guests in on the fact that while I was the third shift, working, he was sleeping, making it that much more challenging to get to know each other? How do you mention the fact that two weeks into texting back and forth, we still had not had a phone conversation? Or do we tell our guests about the first phone call when the bride made the first phone call because the groom was super shy? I think he might have said two words; hi and bye............ Oh yeah, by the way...I thought he was a (lying @$$ mofo) sorry mothers... How do we tell the guests that he took advice from Tim about dating me (you won't see him at the wedding) and thought that ignoring me would get me faster? How do we tell the guests that for our first date, I did most of the smiling and talking; he just stared at me. Have I mentioned that he turned out to be the most imperfectly perfect man for me? Five tiny humans, one Penny later; our pup. Time has passed, and I haven't stopped talking; he hasn't stopped staring...which has continued to make my heart smile.
