Maverick the Matchmaker

Love happens when you least expect it.

John and Laurissa met through family at Thanksgiving, John's mom knew Laurissa's uncle from high school. John was stationed at Fort Bragg, far from any family. John’s mother decided she wanted to see her son for Thanksgiving. So John’s mom and Laurissa’s Uncle arranged for Laurissa to host them for the holiday. As soon as John walked in the door, he was greeted by the most handsome yellow lab, Maverick. John and Maverick became best friends by the end of the weekend. Laurissa and John exchanged numbers to keep in touch, John offering to watch Maverick if she ever needed. A couple of weeks later John helped Laurissa with Christmas decorations for her house. Over that weekend the sparks ignited and it was very clear to both of them that they had unbelievable chemistry. Over time a very deep connection to each other formed. They both realized it was meant to be and it's been a dream come true ever since.
